What Is an ST-4 Autoguide Cable?

The ST-4 interface is the industry-standard autoguiding port found on most equatorial telescope mounts. It allows your guiding camera or standalone autoguider to send correction signals directly to the mount's RA and Dec motors, compensating for tracking drift and enabling sharp, detailed astrophotography exposures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What mounts is this RJ12 ST-4 autoguide camera cable compatible with?

A: This RJ12 6P6C ST-4 autoguide cable is specifically designed for iOptron mounts including the iEQ30 and iEQ45, and is broadly compatible with any equatorial telescope mount featuring a standard ST-4 autoguide port.

Q: What material is the RJ12 6P6C autoguide cable made from?

A: The cable conductors are made from pure copper or copper-clad steel, ensuring reliable electrical signal transmission and long-term durability for your autoguiding setup.

Q: What is the difference between RJ12 6P6C and a standard telephone cable?

A: An RJ12 6P6C connector uses all 6 positions and all 6 conductors in the plug, which is required for the ST-4 autoguide interface. A standard telephone cable may use fewer conductors and is not suitable as a direct replacement for ST-4 autoguiding applications.

Q: How many color options are available for this autoguide cable?

A: This ST-4 autoguide cable is available in 5 different colors, making it easy to color-code and organize your telescope accessory cables at the mount.
