This 1.8-meter FT232RL USB to Mini DIN 4Pin MD4 serial cable is specially customized for connecting Takahashi Temma astronomical equatorial mounts to desktop and laptop computers, replacing traditional DB9 serial connection lines.
Equipped with industrial-grade FT232RL conversion chip, the cable stably converts USB signals to standard RS232 serial signals, supporting real-time mount control, parameter adjustment, tracking calibration and astronomical data upload. The precise molded Mini DIN 4Pin MD4 plug fits tightly with Takahashi Temma equipment ports to avoid loose contact during long-time observation.
Whole cable adopts double-layer aluminum foil shielding structure to block chassis electromagnetic interference and outdoor signal attenuation. No complicated manual driver configuration required; the FT232RL chip is recognized automatically under Windows, macOS and Linux systems. Flexible wear-resistant outer rubber jacket resists bending and outdoor temperature changes, ideal for amateur and professional astronomers to realize computer automatic control of equatorial mounts in observatories and field shooting scenes.
