"Speculation - EQ6 owners have a decent serial plug on one end, so 50% less chance of these sorts of issues. The coiled cable is quite soft and only held lightly in the socket (much less robust than average run of the mill network cable). Gradual twisting stress as mount pivots around eventually breaks contact (especially as mount is in high speed slew)."

I have Argonavis with the same plug and it cops a hiding for years
When I was mucking about with mine, I tried a different cable from Dick Smith with out success

GOOD NEWS
Keep having fun
