USB to RJ12 6P6C EQDIR Cable for Sky-Watcher AZ-GTi Mount

Connect your Sky-Watcher AZ-GTi mount directly to a PC or ZWO ASIAIR using this USB to RJ12 6P6C EQDIR cable.

Designed for direct USB-to-UART TTL communication, this cable allows compatible astronomy software to control the AZ-GTi mount without routing commands through the SynScan hand controller.

Key Features

• Application: EQDIR direct mount communication

• Compatible Mount: Sky-Watcher AZ-GTi

• Computer Connection: USB

• Mount Connection: RJ12 6P6C

• Communication Interface: UART TTL

• Software: Compatible with EQMOD and ASIAIR mount-control configurations

• Function: Direct PC or ASIAIR connection for telescope control

Compatible Applications

• Sky-Watcher AZ-GTi mount control from a PC

• EQMOD-compatible telescope control software

• ZWO ASIAIR mount control using the appropriate EQMod configuration

How to Connect

1. Install the appropriate USB-to-serial driver on your computer.

2. Connect the USB plug to your PC or compatible USB host.

3. Connect the RJ12 6P6C plug to the AZ-GTi mount's designated communication port.

4. Open your astronomy control software.

5. Select EQMod Mount and Serial connection when configuring ASIAIR.

6. Set the communication baud rate to 9600 where required.

Important Compatibility Notes

• This is an AZ-GTi-specific EQDIR cable, not a standard Ethernet cable or RS232 adapter.

• The cable uses a dedicated RJ12 pinout. Do not substitute an ordinary RJ12 telephone cable.

• The AZ-GTi must use the appropriate EQ-mode firmware for EQMOD equatorial operation.

• TTL voltage and RJ12 pin assignments must match the mount's electrical requirements.

• Driver installation may be required depending on the USB-to-UART chipset and operating system.

  Important Compatibility Notes

  • Connector types and pin assignments may vary depending on the mount's hardware and control board revision.

  • EQDIR cables are not interchangeable with standard Ethernet cables or ordinary USB-to-RS232 adapters.

  • Check the required TTL voltage and RJ connector pinout before ordering.

  • For models with built-in USB ports, verify the supported communication and firmware functions in the manufacturer's documentation.

  • Please confirm your exact mount model and hardware version before purchasing.
