Cine RT Power & Serial Cables
Cine RT System Cables are available separately and can be ordered a la carte.
When ordering cables for your System Package or Kit please consider the following:
Cable Connectors: Straight vs. Right Angle
-
When plugged into the Base Sensor, the orientation of right-angle connectors is "9 o'clock". This orientation directs power, serial, and Y cables neatly backward towards the camera. As a result, most clients prefer right-angle connectors on the "Cine RT side" of their cables for both power and serial cables.
Cable Length
-
The most popular working length of power, serial, and Y cables is 24" or 60cm; however, many ACs tend to use longer cables when required to reach the back of the camera, particularly in large zoom builds.
-
Shorter Serial and Y cables are used for smaller builds like when using the Arri Mini or gimbal work. Ultimately, it is a case of user preference. If in doubt go longer as long cables can always be shortened!
Power & Serial Cables vs "Y" Cables
-
It is possible to use a separate power and serial cable for the Cine RT Base Sensor; however, our Y cable does both! The integrated power and serial Y has become the favored option. Although personal preference, the number of available power connector options on your build may be a consideration as to which option you choose.
Please note that at present our connector inventory is restricted to the options below.
We do not currently offer custom shrink wrap cable labeling.
Cable SKUs available on the desktop version of the website only.
