Hitec Astro EQDIR adapter -- any extension cable?

[emadmoussa]

I've just a placed an order for this item. But wondering, since the photo and description on FLO don't help much, If want to extend the cable, what kind of cable do I need? USB extension? RJ-9? I can't see what comes out at the other end.

You'd extend from the other side, there's enough cable to secure the EQDIR to a tripod leg, then run as long a USB cable as you need away from the EQDIR to the PC (it's a standard USB printer cable.)

Thanks! I assume female-to-female? Sorry, does a USB cable come with it?

Can't remember if USB cable comes with, it's USB a to b male to male I think. Google USB printer cable
