Thanks guys It turned out I didn't need to shrink wrap it. The Cat5 jacks I have come with a nifty back cover that locks all the wires in place.

Let me know if you want any further info, Its a very easy mod though if you have the right gear.

Don, you could get your robot to make one

Hi Clarky. This cable is also good for the 645 to AF400T gun and it is good from Roscoes list of cameras to hotshoe holder which can carry the 280 flashgun. Just out of interest the hotshoe holder has an outlet on the other side so you can put a 280 on top and run a cable to another gun,
(a 400 for example) and use them both on TTL. I personally run the 280 on the 645 on the hotshoe holder and have two 400,s hard wired so I can use all three guns together on TTL. All run from the camera on the
4P Sync. Cord. I just thought that with a little more info' a few more people might be interested
CHEERS Vic.
Thanks Vic, I just looked in my Lenses and accessories booklet (should have done that in the first place) and its all clear now. Thanks again

Well here it is Don, and I can say it works fine. I tried it with a 5mtr long cable and it doesn't appear to have any adverse effects on the timing or controls of the flash,
If you are going to make this modification make sure you have a multi meter so you can check that all the wiring is in the right order before trying it on your camera and flash.

I found this sync cord in amongst a bunch of other cables I have. It fits the AF400T flash unit (which I don't own). Not sure if its compatible with any other flash units.

If anyone is after one of these, make me an offer for it, not sure what its worth but i'll take any reasonable offer.

Postage from Australia will be about 4quid

I thought of that myself, I have a bunch of various sized shrinky tubes and then put a larger one over the top to clean it all up.

Thanks for that Don, very intersting. I have all the gear, including the punch tool for attaching the connectors, so I will give it a try.
