Default Miniature 6 way inline connectors for cable extender

.com, Ian scribeth thus
I would like to extend an off-camera flash cable. These are not the 2
way high voltage PC leads but 6-way low voltage proprietary
connectors. I've seen it done with rj45 cable and inline connectors
but my experience with these, even booted, is that the connection can
be a bit iffy at times.

So I'm looking for a better connector solution. Maybe something like
XLR or locking DIN, only smaller diameter.

Anything come to mind to anyone?

There is a miniature 3 pole XLR series connector but 4 more poles than
that I seem to remember LEMO being mentioned. Try Canford audio or
Studiospares. Prolly very good but rather expensive.


Dave Plowman may know more on these....


Lemo are good but fiendishly expensive. Can't really think of any
connector smaller than DIN that would be up to it, though.
