Hi John

I use Velcro straps of varying lengths to fasten the multiple cable looms to the OTA, then the mount, then the tripod legs and finally to my observing table.

I try to route power cables away from signal cables to limit possibilities of emi/emc interference. I then watch everything like a hawk to make sure nothing snags, especially with GoTo’s. Meridian flips often mean I need to manually re-route at least one of the looms.

Tak hand controller.
Tak power.
Tak RS232 GoTo.

ST7 parallel cable.
ST7 power cable.
ST7E to Tak autoguider.

JMI motofocus cable.

Kendrick dew heater power cable.

Finder scope LED cable.

ToUcam cable.

Pentax *ist DS power cable.
Pentax *ist DS USB cable.

And the list goes on depending on what I am doing

Cheers

Dennis
