Elliott,

Yes, that Wireman #306 cable is what I used for my Orion 2800 in 2013.  Has 
been solid so far, turning a SteppIR DB42.

Elliot,

Check thewireman.com  They have cable specifically for the Orion 2800. It's 
part # 306.

Dxengineering carries part DXE-CW1812OR for the 2800.  That cable has an extra 
ground wire.
