Cable orientation and length
This Alphacool accessory is a 40 cm cable that converts a 3.5 mm mini-TRS jack to a right-angle 5-pin connector rotatable through 180 degrees. The red-dot positioning pin faces downward so the cable outlet points upward, preventing interference with a CFast card door. It is intended for professionals who need reliable timecode connections on set.
Suited for Tentacle Sync workflows
The cable feeds timecode from Tentacle Sync generators into devices that accept a 5-pin LEMO input, and it jam-syncs Tentacle units from ARRI Alexa or Sound Devices 702T, 744T, 788T, 664 and 633 recorders. Users requiring a straight 5-pin plug, a different jack type or a length other than 40 cm should look at alternative cables.
Build integration and clearance
The right-angle rotatable plug routes the cable vertically, freeing space around the memory card slot and reducing strain on the camera body. Neutrik and Eonvic connectors rated for more than 5000 insertions provide shielding and vibration resistance, so the link stays secure during handheld or gimbal operation.

Questions about this item
What type of 3.5 mm jack does my Tentacle Sync unit need for this cable to connect?
The cable ends in a right-angle Neutrik mini-TRS 3.5 mm jack that plugs directly into the Tentacle Sync generator.
Will the 180-degree rotatable 5-pin connector clear the CFast card door on my ARRI Alexa Mini?
Yes, the right-angle 5-pin plug rotates 180 degrees so the cable outlet points upward, keeping the memory card door unobstructed.
How can I verify the cable is passing timecode correctly after I connect it?
Each assembly is tested for pin-to-pin continuity and high-voltage insulation; once connected, confirm the receiving device shows valid timecode lock from the Tentacle unit.
