To those wondering why I’m not using a shorter yellow Ethernet cable, it’s my shortest one. The other one I have is 30m and cost $450. Ethernet doesn’t necessarily mean regular RJ45 connectors at both ends. The phantom end has a Fischer connector with a specific pin-out so it’s not a case of just whipping one up or getting one off Amazon. You can see it at 7:03 in the video. I might get a custom short one made at some point but so far it hasn’t bothered me at all.
@DX882 жыл бұрын
Yeah it was bothering me the whole video but your comment makes it make sense. You could also just keep this cable but put the coiled part on top or something so that it doesn't fling around. You're also putting a lot of g's on that cable now because of the weight of the coiled part.

The other side looks standard RJ45 - I say cut it, and recrimp it shorter, with whatever pinout was on the original end.

Actually CFast is not CompactFlash. CompactFlash was an old standard using the PCMCIA standard (which is how old laptop peripherals connected to the computer) and doesn't have the throughput (only 66 Mb/s) for the large and fast video that is being recorded. CFast on the other hand uses the SATA interface allowing up to 4 Gb/s speeds). However CFast and CompactFlash do have a very similar form factor and so by sight they can be confused with each other. Of course there is the new CFExpress based on PCI-Express in the XQD formfactor that supports up to 32 Gb/s.
