About this product
Model: lynxastro_skyw-serial_5m
New Version - Thinner, Lighter and more Flexible!
Premium quality serial RS232 suitable for use with a Sky-Watcher mount using a SynScan handset.
Connects PC and handset for control of the mount via suitable planetarium software. Computers without an RS232 port will also require a RS232-USB adapter.
Also suitable for connecting a handset to a PC for upgrading the handset's firmware.
Made from high quality round cable that is more flexible and less prone to snagging or twisting than flat cables.
We have also taken this opportunity to specify higher quality plugs. I.e. the metal DSUB plug has thumbscrews, so is easy to secure, and the point where the cable fits the plugs is nice and tight to prevent moisture entering the plug.
Individually tested and quality controlled for peace of mind.
Available in 5m or 10m lengths.

I original ordered the cheaper cable. However, because I was waiting for it to come into stock I was offered a free upgrade. Great service from FLO thank you.

Very well made cable, high quality connections and good value. Cables may not be the most exciting item, but they are pretty essential and a nightmare when they go wrong or don't work. Although I have only used this Lynx cable a few times, it is robust and has a solid professional feel, but most importantly it works as it should.

Used to connect my windows 10 PC COM port to my EQ6 SkyScan hand controller so as to use ASCOM v6 platform and Driver with EQMOD. Works perfectly.
