  • Software Bisque SBIG DIN Power Extension Cable

    The Software Bisque SBIG DIN Power Extension Cable is a purpose-built accessory designed to create a secure power link from your mount to your camera. At 4 feet long, this cable provides the extra length needed for robust cable management, preventing snags and power interruptions during long imaging sessions.

    Reliable Power for SBIG Cameras on Paramount Mounts

    This extension cable solves a critical cable management challenge for imagers using Paramount mounts with SBIG cameras. It allows you to create a generous service loop, ensuring that the power connection is never stressed or disconnected as the telescope slews across the sky, especially during a meridian flip.

    Built with heavy 18-gauge wire, the cable minimizes voltage drop, delivering stable and consistent current to your SBIG camera's sensitive electronics and cooling system. Both ends use male 5-pin DIN connectors.

    • Paramount Mount Integration: Connects directly to the dedicated Camera Power port on the Paramount ME Instrument Panel for a clean, integrated setup.
    • Stable Current Delivery: The heavy-gauge wire ensures your camera receives the full voltage required for low-noise performance, even when the cooler is running at maximum power.
    • Connectors: Male 5-pin DIN connectors on each end.
    • Dedicated Design: This is a proprietary cable specifically for the Software Bisque and SBIG ecosystem; it is not compatible with standard 12V DC power jacks.

  • What is the Software Bisque SBIG DIN Power Extension Cable used for?

    This cable extends the power connection from a Software Bisque Paramount mount's instrument panel to an SBIG camera. It provides more flexibility in cable routing, helping to prevent snags or disconnections as the mount tracks and slews.

    Will this SBIG power cable work with my Paramount ME and an SBIG camera with a 5-pin DIN power input?

    Yes. One end plugs into the Camera Power port on the Paramount ME Instrument Panel, and the cable has male 5-pin DIN connectors on each end. Check that your camera's power input is a 5-pin DIN socket before ordering.

    Why does this Software Bisque power cable use heavy 18-gauge wire?

    Cooled SBIG cameras can draw significant current, especially when the TEC is at full power. The heavy 18-gauge wire minimizes voltage drop over the cable's length, ensuring the camera receives stable power for reliable, low-noise imaging.

    Can I use this SBIG power cable with a different brand of mount or camera?

    No. This is a specific-purpose cable with 5-pin DIN connectors wired for the power output of a Paramount mount and the input requirements of an SBIG camera. Attempting to use it with other equipment could cause damage.

    How does this SBIG extension cable help when imaging the Cygnus Loop (NGC 6960)?

    For long-exposure mosaics of large targets like the Cygnus Loop, your mount will likely cross the meridian. This extension cable provides enough slack to create a safe cable loop that won't snag, pull, or disconnect during a meridian flip, preventing a lost subframe or a ruined night of imaging.

    What type of connectors are on the SBIG DIN Power Extension Cable?

    The cable is terminated with a male 5-pin DIN connector on both ends. One end plugs into the Paramount's instrument panel, and the other plugs directly into the SBIG camera body.
