I started out with trailing cables and that always caused problems in the dark and cold.
Now I try to keep my cabling well organized and as modular as possible.
The QHY8 power supply and a home-made USB hub/power management box are attached to the EQ6 body using velcro.
Dew heater, camera and guider USB cables loop up to the dovetail. Everything plugs in one side, in logical sequence.
Minimum cabling from the mount to the ground: Power cable to a 100AH battery and a single USB cable to the laptop.
All cables are secured with velcro ties.
