sw autofocuser lead Question

[Bottletopburly]

Can anyone tell me van you get a longer lead for the sw autofocuser so  I dont have to keep controller on ota  , and perhaps mount on tripod

I've not checked - but try Astronomiser - they do all sorts of leads and extensions for the standard stuff like this David.

And their leads are all tested and guaranteed to work with astro gear.

You can use a standard phone extension lead. 

Cost a couple of quid for a 5 metre one. 

The plugs might need a quick rub down with some sand paper as mine were a bit tight.

Thanks guys ,5m thats handy may work from the shed

As Graham says a standard phone extension works fine David, I ran mine on a 10 meter to the conservatory with no problems at all just dont go for a longer coiled one that extends to 10 meter, they are literately like a spring extended at those lengths

Is it an rj11 to rj11 extension I require .?

[Brady]

I thought it was RJ10 if i remember, 4P4C connector but better wait for confirmation on that David.. thing is i bought a 20m cable from ebay and the crimp set and made 3 different sizes to suit my needs...
