Great cable, remains flexible sub zero, not sure how low, UK based, but all other cables had become stiff and unmanageable. Only caveat is make sure you get the 2.1mm or 2.5mm as needed they are different items, I ordered the wrong one initially.

The cable was delivered quickly and well packaged from FLO - excellent service. The cable is as described. The fittings at each end are very secure and the fitting into the ASI / AM5 is secure and robust.

These aren’t the cheapest cables but you really do get what you pay for. It wasn’t much more than I paid for an iOptron cable but it’s a massive upgrade.
I’m going to upgrade all my power patch leads to Lynx now, I’m that impressed. The other night saw the temperature here drop to zero but these cables were still totally soft and flexible while my other cables (Pegasus and iOptron) were stiff and difficult to manage.
If you want to get the best out of those cold, crisp winter nights then these should be on your wish list.

Strong and durable
Best power leads I’ve encountered 26 February 2023 | Richard
Ok firstly, totally my mistake, I ordered the wrong size dc plug, needed 2.5mm but ordered 2.1mm. Easily resolved with an adapter.
These leads are great, they stay flexible in the cold nights and you can feel they have good strength and quality and feel assured they will deliver the power needed. Another good quality is the way they plug in at either end, you can feel that they’re in securely and won’t fall out without a good tug. The only slight change from previous ones I’ve had, is the led light on the cigar plug is much brighter but it actually acts as nice glow light to the pier as it’s situated on the support arm below. Excellent quality and I have come to expect no less from Flo as their products have always been reliable and well made/built. Thanks Flo
Ring Tongues not far enough apart 03 February 2023 | Andrew
I bought the version with ring tongues to use with a 50Ah LiFePO4 battery. It’s a well built cable, but arranged so that the maximum distance between the ring tongues is 12cm. My battery terminals were 15cm apart, so in order to use the cable I had to snip a sealing band and make a slit in the silicone sheath. It now looks a mess.
Response:
This is a first for us - these are usually more than far enough apart for most uses so this must be an exceptional use case - if anybody else has similar issuses or batteries with terminals that far apart please contact us prior to ordering and we can produce a custom version of this cable.

Usual excellent quality and sercice from FLO. It is a tight fit into my Az Gti wifi mount but not a bad thing, certainly won't pull out accidentaly.
Switchcraft 'Z series' doesn't always make a secure connection, depending on your device. 06 July 2022 | Jon
Couldn't get a secure connection with this lead to my AsiAir Plus or Pegasus Power Box advance, compared to cheaper leads that do. A little bit of applied pressure and the power is lost. Lead looks high quality otherwise.
