I was also thinking of using my ASIAIR and mount it on the telescope so the short leads will reach.
Or get a similar power and USB hub and mount it on the scope.

mounting the miniPC or ASIair on the OTA is my preferred method. that way I only have a single power and Ethernet cable going up to the DEC head, (and maybe a USB for mount control, depending on the mount) I have a 3d printed jig to hold an ethernet coupler and DC power jack on the side of the DEC head. Then i can swap out my OTA just be unplugging directly at the DEC head. it's a poor-man's answer to through-mount cabling.
