EQ5 GoTo Motor Cable

Hi everyone,

One of my cables for my motors on my mount over rotated and pulled one of the wires, I am buying a replacement cable, is it just a standard 8-pin DIN cable or something more specialised.

Thanks,
Tom,

Have you got a multimeter? That will quickly tell you how it’s wired.

Yes I do, but how would I check that against an 8-pin DIN.

Check the pins on either end and match them up to see if it’s wired straight thru. I’d imagine a off the shelf cable would be straight thru.
