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.
