Please note: Don’t buy the ZWOASI120MM USB2 Camera !!!! as it has inherent intermittent problems with connections and drop outs etc. ZWO have had issues with the driver etc..
Make sure you buy the ZWOASI120MM-S USB3 Camera
You can still connect it from camera to laptop with USB2 cable up to 5m cable length or use a compliant USB3 cable suitable up to 5m if you need that length
Also if your using PHD2 as your guiding software it is recommended by the PHD2 developers and the general Astro community to connect the guide camera direct to the laptop via Ascom ( not ST4 connection which is camera to mount then mount to laptop) Refer attached
