Westcott PC Sync to 3.5mm Female Cable video accessory

SKU CH-SVZD-6DXWR

An 8-inch PC Sync to 3.5 mm female cable links Westcott FJ wireless receivers to speedlights for manual triggering without optical sensors

  • Connect FJ-XR receiver to speedlights via PC Sync
  • 5 mm female port accepts FJ-XR pin for wireless triggering
  • 8" cable links speedlite to receiver for manual control
  • Eliminates reliance on speedlight optical sensors for firing
  • Expands FJ Wireless Flash System compatibility across brands

Connects FJ-XR Receiver to PC Sync Speedlights

This cable links a Westcott FJ-XR Wireless Receiver to any speedlight that has a PC Sync port. It lets the FJ-X2m Wireless Transmitter trigger the flash without relying on optical sensors. The connection is manual and works across multiple speedlight brands. Photographers using the FJ Wireless Flash System gain a wired trigger option for mixed lighting setups.

Passive cable with no power or cooling needs

The accessory is a simple 3.5 mm female to male PC Sync cord that carries only the trigger signal. It draws no power, generates no heat and makes no noise during operation. There are no active electronics inside the cable itself. Reliability depends solely on the physical connection at each end.

Replaces optical slave triggering for FJ system

It removes the requirement for a speedlight's built-in optical sensor to fire in sync with the FJ-X2m transmitter. The upgrade is worth it when optical line-of-sight is unreliable or when mixing flash brands that lack compatible wireless protocols. Buyers who need TTL or high-speed sync data through the PC port will not get those functions from this cable.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the 8-inch PC Sync to 3.5 mm cable between my speedlight and the FJ-XR receiver?

Connect the male PC Sync end to the speedlight's PC terminal, then insert the FJ-XR receiver's pin into the cable's 3.5 mm female port to complete the link.

Will the 3.5 mm female connector or PC Sync plug wear out after repeated studio sessions?

The connectors are standard metal contacts rated for typical studio use; inspect for bent pins or loose fit and replace the cable if triggering becomes unreliable.

What limits reliable triggering when the cable is used for long continuous shoots?

The 8-inch length keeps signal loss minimal, but excessive bending or tugging at the joints can interrupt the connection before any electrical limit is reached.
