Sourcing 3-pin to 6-pin LEMO power cables for RED Epic cameras
12 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The 6-pin LEMO connector used on RED Epic cameras is a proprietary design not stocked by LEMO as a standard item, resulting in significantly higher costs than regular LEMO connectors of equivalent size.
- The specific 6-pin LEMO connector part number FGJ.1B.306.CWLD72Z can be sourced from electronics distributors like Mouser at approximately $57 per unit.
- Custom cable builders can fabricate 3-pin to 6-pin LEMO adapters as an alternative to purchasing pre-made cables from major manufacturers.
- Availability of the proprietary 6-pin LEMO connector has improved since the RED Epic's initial release, making sourcing easier than in earlier years.
Depends on
- Discussion occurred in 2014 and availability may have changed since then.
- Pricing information is historical and may not reflect current costs.
- No detailed specifications provided for cable gauge, shielding, or performance characteristics.
- No comparison of actual price differences between manufacturer cables and custom-built alternatives was documented.
