Help please what is this and how can I get a 20' cable

[jr1]

I have a disabled son who is into Astronomy, BUT can not be out at night in the cold, so I have / am setting up his scope remotely.

I have ALL but one problem solved.

He has a remote focusser on his scope, it has the following connections, I am told it is NOT an RJ45 connection.

I have imaged the connectors, which have FOUR(yellow, red green black) connections and do NOT cross over, I am desperate for a 20-25' cable for him to focus from his bedroom.

ANY help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you

Looks like an RJ11 RJ11 to RJ11 Cable 10m | Maplin

looks to me like RJ11 one end and 4 wire RJ45 the other end.

Looking again it could be 4 wire RJ12 if they are 6 pin plugs.

OK I should have added that the image with TWO different connectors is to show that the "telephone" type on the RIGHT is NOTHING like the one I need on the left it is far too large, RJ45 I think

Once identified a google search should help you source suppliers from Amazon or E bay. Maplins may also be helpful if you have a local store

I wanted to thank you all

I am NO electrical person but thanks to this forum, I ordered (all alien to me) a crimping tool £3.40 from Maplin and some 4P4C connectors, now I have a fully working electronic focuser on a scope that can be used from indoors.

Thanks again

I am a member of a number of forums, it is just good manners when people take the trouble to help.

I would NOT have done it without people here
