What this cable is and who it serves
The 16" Red Adapter Cable from Tentacle Sync feeds timecode from a Tentacle device to RED cameras that have a 4-pin LEMO sync port. It is built for production teams who need reliable sync on set. The cable does not support the RED One model. Its 16-inch length keeps the connection tidy on camera rigs.
What to verify before ordering
Confirm that your RED camera includes a 4-pin LEMO sync port and that it is not the RED One. Check that your Tentacle timecode device provides the matching output for this adapter. Ensure the 16-inch reach suits the distance between your Tentacle unit and the camera body. No other interfaces are required on the camera side.
How it fits into a production kit
The adapter plugs directly into the camera's sync port and frees the Tentacle device to sit wherever the rig allows. It replaces makeshift wiring with a single, purpose-built link. The short cable reduces snag risk and leaves the camera's other ports open for monitoring or power. It works alongside existing audio gear without adding bulk.

Questions about this item
Does the 16" Red Adapter Cable include the Tentacle Sync timecode generator or must that be purchased separately?
The cable is an adapter only; the Tentacle Sync timecode generator is sold separately and must be connected to the 3.5 mm jack on this cable.
Which RED camera models work with this 16" Red Adapter Cable?
It fits every RED camera that has a 4-pin LEMO Sync Port, which covers all current RED bodies except the original RED One.
What does the 16-inch length mean when the cable is rigged on a camera?
The 16-inch run gives enough slack to route from a body-mounted Tentacle Sync unit to the LEMO port without tension, yet stays short enough to avoid snagging on a cage or gimbal.
