Phottix spiral connection cable N6 (model 17310) for flash and trigger systems

Phottix spiral connection cable N6 (model 17310) is a coiled sync cable designed to connect compatible flash units and trigger systems. The spiral design keeps the cable compact when not stretched and extends to provide the reach required for on-camera, off-camera or studio setups. It is intended for photographers who need a short, extendable wired link between a camera, flash, or trigger receiver without the extra slack of a straight cable.

Advantages

The coiled construction reduces hanging slack and tangling while allowing flexible extension during use. Its compact form factor improves portability and storage compared with straight cables. The cable offers a reliable wired signal path for flash synchronization, avoiding potential radio interference and latency associated with wireless-only setups. It is compatible with a range of flash and trigger equipment that use the same connector type, providing a straightforward mechanical connection for consistent firing.

Suitable for

• On-camera flash synchronization where a short flexible connection is needed
• Off-camera flash setups that require a tidy, extendable cable
• Studio lighting arrangements where a reliable wired trigger is preferred
• Location shoots where compact, portable cabling is advantageous

Key specifications

• Coiled (spiral) cable design for compact storage and stretchable length
• Designed for flash and trigger systems requiring a mechanical wired connection
• Flexible construction to reduce strain and tangling during use
• Suitable for short to moderate extension distances typical in on- and off-camera arrangements

How to use

Connect one end of the spiral cable to the flash unit or trigger receiver and the other end to the camera or transmitting trigger, ensuring connectors are fully seated. Pull gently to extend the coil to the desired length while avoiding excessive force that could strain connectors. Keep the cable routed to prevent interference with camera handles, stands or mounting hardware. After use, allow the coil to retract naturally and store the cable coiled to maintain its shape.

Usage recommendations

Inspect connectors periodically for dirt and wear and avoid sharp bends near the connector ends. Use the cable within typical studio and location conditions and avoid exposure to excessive moisture, heat, or mechanical stress to prolong service life.
