Know before you buy
No, this specific N1 cable is designed only for Nikon models that utilize the 10-pin remote terminal, such as the D850, D810, and D500. Please verify that your camera model is on the compatibility list before purchasing.
The cable features a USB 2.0 interface that plugs directly into one of the USB ports on your ASIAIR controller, while the other end connects to your camera's 10-pin remote port.
The cable is 1 meter long, which is generally sufficient for connecting a camera mounted on a telescope to an ASIAIR unit attached to the tripod or mount. If your setup requires more distance, you may need to consider cable management to avoid tension.
No, the cable is powered directly through the USB connection to the ASIAIR, so you do not need any additional batteries or power adapters to operate the shutter.
The cable is not water-resistant. While it is designed for outdoor astrophotography, you should take care to protect the connection points from dew, rain, or high humidity.
