Fiber optic jumper cables for steadicam rigs are typically 5 to 6 feet in length when attached at the vest back with the cable draped over the shoulder.
A 3-foot jumper cable is considered too short for typical steadicam setup as it cannot be extended if needed.
Fiber optic jumper cables can be custom-made by cable manufacturers as an alternative to ordering from stock.
Prices for fiber optic jumper cables range around $630 USD for a 6-foot length.

The discussion does not establish which cable source is most reliable for the HDC1500 camera.
Optimal cable length may vary depending on where the main cable attaches to individual steadicam vest configurations.
No information is provided about failure rates or long-term reliability of specific fiber optic jumper products.
