I just loom my cables (2 x droppers) using tiny zip ties either side of the Losmandy scope support bar and form a strain relief loop tied off on the west tripod leg near the spreader plate using Velcro
I found that supporting the cables this way significantly improved my PHD2 guiding Ra movements. Previously the cables just use to drop to the ground with no additional support which did affected guiding Ra movements.
In addition I tie off the cables on the Losmandy scope support bar as close as possible to the worm shaft or central shaft of the mount thus reducing cable sway on Dec movement.
This method of supporting my cable looms has improved stability and hence allowing good guiding.
Cable drag or cable resistance is a major factor in PHD2 guiding performance. I was guilty of not realising that when I first set up my AP cabling.
No issue anymore
Cheers
