  • Software Bisque 2.5mm Straight DC Plug to Powerpole Cable

    The Software Bisque 2.5mm Straight DC Plug to Powerpole Cable provides a secure 12V connection for field accessories that require a 2.5mm input jack, integrating them seamlessly into a Powerpole-based distribution system.

    Reliable 12V Power with 2.5mm DC and Powerpole Connectors

    This cable solves a common power problem in modern astronomy setups: connecting accessories with standard DC barrel plugs to the robust Anderson Powerpole standard. It is designed specifically for systems like TheSky Fusion, allowing you to power a 12V DC device that uses a 2.5mm input from one of the system's secure output ports.

    Unlike standard DC plugs which can easily disconnect with a slight tug, the Powerpole connector provides a locking, high-current connection that prevents accidental power loss to critical equipment during an imaging session. This cable is an essential utility for creating a clean, reliable power management system in the field.

  • What is the Software Bisque 2.5mm Powerpole Cable used for?

    This cable is designed to supply 12V DC power from a source with an Anderson Powerpole output (like TheSky Fusion or a field battery) to a device that requires a 2.5mm DC barrel plug for power input. It bridges the gap between the two common power standards used in amateur astronomy.

    Is the Software Bisque 2.5mm Powerpole Cable compatible with systems other than TheSky Fusion?

    Yes. While designed with TheSky Fusion in mind, this cable works with any power source that uses standard Anderson Powerpole connectors for 12V DC output, such as portable power stations, custom power distribution boxes, and some Paramount mount power panels.

    Why use a Powerpole connection for my 12V gear with this Software Bisque cable?

    Anderson Powerpole connectors offer a more secure and reliable connection than traditional DC barrel plugs or cigarette lighter adapters. They lock together, preventing accidental disconnection from cable snags, and provide a lower-resistance connection, ensuring your equipment receives stable voltage.

    Can I use the Software Bisque 2.5mm Powerpole Cable to power my ZWO ASIAIR from a Paramount mount?

    You must first verify the specific power input requirements for your ASIAIR model. Some models use a 2.1mm plug, while others may use 2.5mm. If your ASIAIR requires a 12V DC input via a 2.5mm plug, and your Paramount mount has a spare Powerpole output, this cable is suitable for the task.

    My field battery has Powerpole outputs. Can I use this Software Bisque 2.5mm cable to power a Pegasus Astro Pocket Powerbox?

    Yes, provided your Pegasus Astro Pocket Powerbox model uses a 2.5mm DC input jack. Always confirm the plug size and voltage requirements of the device you intend to power. If it matches a 12V, 2.5mm input, this cable will work perfectly with your Powerpole-equipped battery.

    What is the advantage of the straight plug on the Software Bisque 2.5mm Powerpole Cable?

    A straight plug offers a direct connection that is easy to insert and remove. It is ideal for situations where there is ample clearance around the power port. In setups with tight space constraints, a right-angle plug might be preferred, but the straight plug is a robust, universal design.
