Thanks Dave & Barry,

I think its just the new shielded cable that has an internal problem.
I run my observatory scope for the last 7 years with another shielded cable (same type) from scope Stuff and it connects to pc through Keyspan to SkyX on laptop with no issues. This observatory cable connects to my portable LX200 no problem. Its the new cable that wont work with either scope and I just wanted to know if a shielded cable was necessary for a 5m length but from the replies (as I had suspected but wasn't sure) I am happy to make a new cable up myself from standard telephone cable.
