  • Software Bisque 2.1mm Straight DC Plug to Powerpole Cable

    The Software Bisque 2.1mm Straight DC Plug to Powerpole Cable, weighing only 1 lbs, creates a secure 12V power source for critical hardware like TheSky Fusion. This essential accessory, shipping in a compact 5 x 2 x 2 in package, replaces unreliable cigarette-lighter-style plugs with the robust Anderson Powerpole standard.

    The Powerpole Advantage: Secure 12V Connections That Won't Disconnect

    Anderson Powerpole connectors are the field standard for mobile power systems because they provide a locking, high-current connection that cannot be accidentally disconnected by a stray foot in the dark. Unlike flimsy, friction-fit cigarette lighter plugs, this cable keeps your 12V equipment running with uninterrupted power all night, preventing a lost imaging session due to a simple power interruption.

    The 2.1mm DC Plug: Powering TheSky Fusion & Astro-Gear

    This cable terminates in a standard 2.1mm straight DC plug, making it directly compatible with the Software Bisque TheSky Fusion and a wide range of other 12V astronomical devices. It's the ideal way to power your mount controller, camera, or dew heater from a centralized Powerpole distribution hub, cleaning up your cable management and improving overall system reliability.

  • What is the Software Bisque 2.1mm to Powerpole Cable used for?

    It's designed to connect 12V astronomical devices that use a standard 2.1mm DC input jack, like TheSky Fusion, to a power source that uses Anderson Powerpole connectors. This provides a much more secure and reliable power connection than standard cigarette lighter plugs.

    Why should I use a Powerpole cable for my astronomy gear?

    Anderson Powerpole connectors offer a significant advantage for field astronomy. They create a secure, locking connection that prevents accidental power loss from cable snags or tugs. This reliability is crucial for long-exposure astrophotography or any automated data acquisition.

    I'm powering my TheSky Fusion from a portable battery box with Powerpole outputs. Is this the right cable?

    Yes, this is exactly the intended use case. This cable allows you to directly and securely connect your TheSky Fusion to a Powerpole-based power distribution system, eliminating the need for less reliable adapters.

    What other devices are compatible with the 2.1mm DC plug on this cable?

    The 2.1mm center-positive DC plug is a very common standard for 12V electronics. Besides the Software Bisque TheSky Fusion, it is often used for:

    • Mount control boxes
    • Dedicated astronomy cameras
    • Dew heater controllers
    • Electronic filter wheels

    Can I use this cable to power my Celestron mount from a Powerwerx Powerpole distribution block?

    Yes, provided your Celestron mount uses a 12V, 2.1mm DC input jack for power. This cable is ideal for integrating equipment from various manufacturers into a standardized Powerpole power system, which is common in advanced portable setups.

    Is there any disadvantage to using this Powerpole cable?

    The only consideration is that your power source must have a Powerpole output. If your battery or power supply only has cigarette lighter or other types of ports, you will need to either convert those outputs to Powerpole or use a different cable. This cable is specifically for building a robust, standardized power system.
