I tried a different brand of EQdir cable and it was very disappointing. It's difficult to find suitable drivers for it, let alone install them. My astrophotography setup was crying out for a quick fix. I tried this cable from DC and my Win10 laptop recognized it immediately. I replaced the hand controller on my HEQ5 Pro with this cable, connected it to my laptop and voila everything works great. EQMOD and Stellarium will now talk to and control the mount. Very easy.
