These connectors are not designed for outdoor use and condensation will eventually form and corrode the metal parts. The oxidation on the surface of the metal contacts creates parasitic resistance which interferes with the data transfer. This is the reason the cables initially work and then fail. The solution is to replace the bad cables or use a drop of contact cleaner solution (sold in electronics stores). ----------------------- My equipment ----------------------- Dwarf III Smart Telescope: https://bit.ly/3SyChXu Seestar S50: https://tinyurl.com/3n62hpzx ZWO ASI2600MC Duo: https://bit.ly/3M8IkPS (Agena) or https://bit.ly/3Jti7KQ (HPS) ZWO ASI585 MC Pro Camera: https://bit.ly/3Iwo6y8 (Agena) or https://bit.ly/4cp1Ofn (High Point Scientific) TOUPTEK IMX571 APS-C Cooled camera: https://tinyurl.com/mr2yhvcw TOUPTEK IMX585 Cooled camera: https://tinyurl.com/4y9dz774 OGMA versions (use code CUIV on checkout for a small discount!): https://getogma.com/ CarbonStar 6" Newtonian: https://bit.ly/3W7ZFiA Mirror Mask for CarbonStar (designed by me :) ): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:661...
