  • Software Bisque Paramount ME II/MX/MX+/MYT External Power Cable (FLI)

    The Software Bisque Paramount External Power Cable for FLI cameras is a purpose-built solution that powers your Finger Lakes Instruments camera directly through a Paramount ME II, MX, MX+, or MYT mount, eliminating cable drag in a package weighing 3 lbs. This official cable ensures a secure, reliable power connection using the mount's integrated internal cabling, simplifying your imaging setup and protecting your equipment.

    Streamlined Power for FLI Cameras via Paramount Mounts

    This cable connects your FLI camera to the integrated power ports on your Paramount mount, routing power internally through the mount's chassis. This design prevents the cable snags and drags that often occur during slewing and tracking, especially after a meridian flip. By powering your camera through the mount, you eliminate a separate, loose power cord—a common failure point that can ruin an exposure or damage equipment.

    • Direct Integration: Engineered with the correct connectors for both FLI camera power inputs and Paramount mount accessory power outputs, ensuring a secure and correct electrical connection.
    • Enhanced Reliability: By removing an external cable that can catch, wrap, or pull, you significantly increase the reliability of unattended or remote imaging sessions.
    • Clean and Efficient Setup: Reduces the number of wires running to your optical tube assembly, making setup, teardown, and transport more efficient.

  • What is the purpose of the Software Bisque External Power Cable for FLI cameras?

    This cable allows you to power a Finger Lakes Instruments (FLI) camera using the built-in, through-the-mount power supply on a Paramount ME II, MX, MX+, or MYT mount. This simplifies cable management and prevents snags that can ruin an exposure.

    Will this FLI power cable work with an original Paramount ME mount?

    No, this cable is specifically designed for the through-the-mount power architecture of the Paramount ME II, MX, MX+, and MYT models. It is not listed as compatible with the original Paramount ME.

    I'm imaging with an FLI ProLine on my Paramount MYT. How does this cable help prevent issues during a meridian flip?

    During a meridian flip, your entire telescope and camera assembly rotates, which can cause loose cables to wrap around the mount. By using this cable to power your FLI ProLine camera through the mount's internal wiring, you eliminate a major source of potential snags, ensuring a smooth, uninterrupted imaging sequence as you track objects across the meridian.

    Can I use a generic power cable instead of this official Software Bisque FLI cable?

    This Software Bisque cable powers Finger Lakes Instruments cameras through the Paramount ME II/MX/MX+/MYT through-the-mount power cabling; it is the designated cable for this use.

    I'm setting up a remote observatory with a Paramount MX+ and an FLI Kepler camera. Is this cable a recommended component?

    Yes, absolutely. For any automated or remote setup, minimizing potential points of failure is critical. This cable provides a robust, integrated power connection that eliminates a loose external cable, significantly increasing the reliability and safety of your remote imaging rig.
