Product description

This 5-12V converter cable transforms a USB-Powerbank into the ideal telescope companion: the 5V that are usual for USB are converted into 12V as required for telescopes. It’s essential to connect the cable to a 2A USB connector: then 600mA are available from the 12V socket. The cable is 80cm long - for flexible positioning of the Powerbank on your telescope.

Note: Because this cable can only supply 600mA, it will only work with small GoTo-mounts. A regular USB-Powerbank will only last for a few hours. The necessary USB-Powerbank is not included in the scope of delivery!

The 12V connector (5.5x2.1 centre-positive) fits most mounts. Caution: unfortunately MEADE mounts require a different connector (5.5x2.5).

The cable is intended to be used with small telescope mounts, for example:

Skywatcher AZ-S
Skywatcher Star Discovery
Skywatcher AZ-GTi
Skywatcher AZ-GTe
Skywatcher Solarquest AZ
Skywatcher AZ Merlin
Orion StarSeeker IV
Celestron Nexstar SLT
Celestron Nexstar GT
Celestron Nexstar SE
Celestron LCM
Celestron SkyProdigy
Omegon Push+
Omegon Push+ mini

Customer reviews

Works well without adapter plug with an old Meade ETX-90EC

Review by J. M. on 02.02.2023 18:12:46

( 5 / 5 )

This converter cable functions flawlessly with the Meade ETX-90EC, with no need for the "5.5/2.1 to 5.5/2.5 Adapter Plug" I purchased separately.

As per descriptions, it must be with newer Meade products, that the adapter plug is necessary.
