A 50-conductor round-to-flat ribbon cable (28 gauge) carries signals from the Aux 1 Serial<br />
(9-line), Aux 2 (3-line) Serial and Parallel (25-line) to the corresponding jacks on the<br />
Instrument Panel. An eight-conductor 22-gauge cable carries the Aux 1, Aux 2 and Camera<br />
Power lines from the Adapter Panel to the Instrument Panel. The 25-line parallel cable is<br />
commonly used to carry the CCD camera signals, and the CCD camera power is routed<br />
using the Camera Power plug.<br />
Note: The additional lines in the 50-conductor cable are used to carry focus and<br />
autoguider signals.<br />
The 3-line and 9-line serial ports can be used to carry focuser, serial camera signals and even<br />
video if the proper adapters are made.
