Leo L. ★★★★★

The shorter 12V/3A cable fits my guide scope's draw perfectly while the 5A one handles the main camera without any voltage drop. Both connectors clicked in snug on the mount's power ports and haven't budged during a full night of slewing.

Finally, a clean setup that actually stays put. The two separate 12V lines let me power my mount and camera cooler from the same source without a mess of adapters.

Sebastian ★★★★★

I was tired of hunting for separate cables for my mount and accessories, so this two-pack is exactly what I needed. The 5A and 3A plugs let me run my guide camera and dew heater at the same time without any power issues.
