Cable routing

[neilallison (Neil)]

Hi

I'm currently in the process of fitting a HitecAstro hub to my tube and have a question in regards to routing the cabling.
I have 2 x USB cables (Imaging camera and Guide camera), 2 x heater cables (Guide camera and Secondary mirror) and 1 x power cable (Imaging camera).
Am I better off routing the different types of cable separately or can I route them all together if I shield the USB cables from the rest of them?

Or..... Do I not need to shield them at all? Can I just route them all together?

Thanks
Neil

I have found it depends on the quality of the USB cables. Typically these days I try to route USB with some separation from power, just in case, because in the past I have occasional problems (very occasional).

Cheers Roger.
I think I'll probably end up routing them all together and shield the USBs from everything else.
