That you will most commonly find on one end of a USB "printer cable" - the other end is the more common "flat" USB male plug that goes into the USB port of the computer. Just bung "USB Cable" into Amazon or ebay to find hundresd of them!

It's a USB 'B' port

Edit as Bizi says usually found on a USB printer and would provide power to the unit

Both your autoguider and web cam connect to your PC, the software you use to guide will monitor the camera and send adjustments down the autoguider then to the scope via the ST4 cable.

Hopefully you got software with the autoguider otherwise you may have to hunt for software and drivers.

See here for the first link I googled to see what a usb autoguider was:)
