What the thread found

• A custom cable can combine start/stop signaling, power pass-through, and tally light indication in a single compact enclosure measuring 1.25x1.25x0.5 inches
• The cable design eliminates the need for a separate Red sync breakout cable, a dedicated power line, or battery changes on the receiver
• Power can be passed through from the camera to the Bartech receiver, allowing a single power cable to supply both devices
• The design works with analog Bartech receivers and includes a power loop-through feature that supports accessories like iris sliders
• Soldering a 00 Lemo connector for this application is technically feasible with proper practice
• The cable can be mounted to the receiver with Velcro, attached to the camera body, or left hanging freely

Depends on

• The digital Bartech receiver does not have a power output, limiting applicability to analog Bartech setups
• Cost per unit was not precisely documented but was stated to be less expensive than commercial alternatives priced around $450
• The design was bench-tested but field testing results were pending at the time of discussion
• Some users preferred alternative implementations from other cable makers
• The cable design evolved from multiple maker attempts with varying feature sets
