USB remote control PC cable for Celestron Nexstar telescopes
5m long – 4 pin modular plug
I bought this only a few weeks ago and have since upgraded my telescope so now no longer needed. I could connect my scope up to my laptop and control it from there.
This is the only reason i am selling it.
Length approx. 5 metres (16 feet). High quality fully screened/shielded flexible cable – not cheap telephone cable.
This handy one-piece cable allows you to connect your Nexstar handset to your computer and enable remote control using Celestron’s Nexremote software and other third-party applications. Also used for upgrading the handset firmware.One end of the cable has a 4 pin modular plug which connects to the telescope’s handset. The other end has a USB plug which connects to the PC’s USB port. The cable contains a USB to serial converter and appears as a COM port on the PC. Length approx. 5 metres (16 feet). High quality fully screened/shielded flexible cable.This cable is effectively the same as using a serial RS232 cable with a USB to serial converter, except of course it is a lot neater and more convenient.FTDI FT232RL chipset avoids driver problems often encountered with cheaper Prolific PL2303 cables, instead using the highly regarded FTDI FT232RL chip which works with all these operating systems:Windows 10Windows 8 and 8.1Windows 7Windows Server 2008Windows VistaWindows Server 2003Windows XPWindows 2000
LinuxMac
32 and 64 bit operating systems are both supported.
Please download the latest drivers and driver installation guides from the FTDI website.
Both work with Windows up to version 10. This cable is a USB replacement for Celestron Nexstar cable #93920.
