Mag II Data cable

Home Up

Make your own Magellan II data cable so you can hook up your LX series scope to planetarium software like Sky Map Pro or Earth Centered Universe.

Here's my cable.  I have spiraled a 25' telephone handset able around the serial cable to make on neat relatively tangle free cable from the handbox to the scope.

Looking into the rear (the end that the wires go into) of the RJ11 connector plug.  The locking tab is positioned at the bottom.

This is my particular convention for pin designation and description.  NC means not connected
