These cables only work with the Sony Brand Remote Control units, which are the Sony RM-VPR1 and the Sony VCT-VPR1 tripod remotes.
These cables have a male Multiport connector on both ends, allowing you to extend the distances between the remote and the camera.
They are heavy duty and made with heavy gauge wires so there will not be any signal loss between the remote and the cameras..
These extension cables are perfect for use with End Zone camera and Sideline camera setups.
How to use the Cable
Power the camera OFF when plugging in or unplugging the cable. Or you may damage the remote controller.
Unplug the cable that came with the the Sony RM-VPR1 or VCT-VPR1 remote controller, as you will be replacing that cable with the one you order.
Next, the Grey end of the cable plugs into the remote and the Black end plugs into the camera.
Make sure you are plugging the cable in the correct way, or you may damage the connector.
When you plug the cable in, you should hear or feel it click into place. Please make sure the cable is plugged in all the way.
If the remote will not control the camera, then power off the camera and unplug and re-plug in both ends of the cable. As they may not be getting a good connection.
Cable Warnings – PLEASE READ
Power the camera OFF when plugging in or unplugging the cable. Or you may damage the remote controller.
Plug the Black Connector on the cable into the camera.
Plug the Grey Connector on the cable into the remote.
Strain Relief: When connecting the cable to the camera, you MUST provide some type of strain relief so the cable is not pulling on the connection especially at the camera end, otherwise you may damage the pins in the connector or the connector itself. As an example, you might try looping the cable around the camera strap before plugging it into the camera.
Connection Problems
If the cable is not making a good connection to the camera or remote, you will loose communication with the remote to camera. If this happens unplug both ends of the cable and re-plug them back in. This almost always fixes the problem. What is happening is the plug at the camera end (or remote end, but most likely the camera end) is being moved around slightly and the pins in the connection are loosing contact. To fix this make sure you have a good strain relief system in place and that the cable is not loose or able to move.
DO NOT get the connectors wet. There is a small circuit board inside each connector. If it gets wet it will cause the cable to short out. So keep the cable/connectors off of the ground. We have heard of people dragging the cables through wet grass and the cables not working because water got in the opening on the connectors. So, it is your responsibility to make anyone handling the cable knows this. If the cable does get wet, coil it up like the picture up above and laying it out in the warm sun for a day and see if the circuit board can dry out. Most of the time this can fix the problem.
BE CAREFUL when plugging the cable in. Pay close attention to make sure you are plugging the cable in the correct way or you may damage the pins in the cable.
Things to avoid:
Getting the connectors wet or dirt in the connector.
Plugging the cable in incorrectly and damaging the pins in the connector.
Not providing strain relief for the plug at the camera end.
