Description

IMPORTANT PRODUCT INFORMATION

These cables only work with the Sony Brand Remote Control units, which are the Sony RM-VPR1 and the Sony VCT-VPR1 tripod remotes (shown below).

The extension or replacement cables on this page are only for the Sony RM-VPR1, and the Sony VCT-VPR1. These cables have a male Multiport connector on both ends, allowing you to extend the distances between the remote and the camera.

They are available in four lengths, 12 ft., 18 ft., 27 ft. and 37 ft. They are heavy duty and made with heavy gauge wires so there will not be any signal loss between the remote and the cameras.

The 37 ft. cable weights one pound as it is a very thick cable, plus it is completely shielded. NOTE: YOU MUST be careful with the connectors as they are very tiny and will damage if you are not careful with them. Sony designed connectors that are small and fragile, so handle with care.

These extension cables are perfect for use with End Zone camera and Sideline camera setups.

Your camera MUST have a Multiport Connection like shown below.

Attention Coaches: While this cable is heavy duty and is perfect for End Zone and Sideline camera setups. PLEASE warn who ever is setting up and working with the End Zone Camera equipment, that the connectors are very small and fragile and they must handle them with care. They are NOT rugged like a football.

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 one of our 12ft, 18ft, 27 ft. or 37ft. cables.

Next, the Grey end of the cable plugs into the remote and the Black end plugs into the camera. We have a label on the cable to remind you which end plugs into the camera. (NOTE: Do NOT remove the label as it also has the serial number for the cable on the one side. The serial number is needed for your warranty.)

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 replug in both ends of the cable. As they may not be getting a good connection.

NOTE: 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 will 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. I am sorry but we will NOT cover damage like this under the warranty, since this is caused by the end user.

This cable is also called a Sony Multiport extension cable, Sony Multi Terminal Cable or a Sony Multiport replacement cable.

NOTE: While they may look like a USB cable they are NOT. They are made with the 15 pin connector that Sony uses for the Multiport connection on the video camera and the remote control.

Warranty Info

The VPR Cables have a 30 Day Warranty for manufacturing defects and a NON-RETURN Policy.

The warranty does NOT cover misuse, water damage, dirt, sand, mud or damage to the cable, connectors or pins in the connectors or any other damage caused by the end user. Your warranty will be voided if the serial number on the cable is missing or altered.

It is the customers responsibility to provide some type of strain relief for the connector and they must be handled with care.

NOTE: There is a label on the Sony RM-VPR1 extension cable showing which end plugs into the video camera. This label also has the serial number for the cable. Do not remove this label as we need the serial number for warranty purposes. If you remove the label with the serial number then the warranty will be voided.

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 will 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. I am sorry but we will NOT cover damage like this under the warranty, since this is caused by the end user.

Troubleshooting 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 replug 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 will damage the pins in the cable.

Typical Connection Problem Causes:

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.

We have special equipment to look into the connector to see if the pins have been damaged or if they have gotten wet or if you got dirt in the connector. There will be no return or exchanges allowed, if we find damage that is caused by the end user, as this is not a failure of the cable.
