Tentacle Sync C25 Bidirectional Timecode Cable (12")

Tentacle Sync C25 Bidirectional Timecode Cable (12") is a short timecode adapter made for linking a Tentacle Sync device with Panasonic Lumix cameras that provide a Flash Synchro socket for timecode input and output. It works with Tentacle Sync E, ORIGINAL, TRACK E, and Timebar units, giving production crews a direct way to move timecode between the Tentacle system and the camera.

The cable uses a right-angle 3.5 mm TRS male connector on the Tentacle side and a 90° lockable Flash Synchro connector on the camera side. At 30 cm (11.8"), the run stays short enough for compact camera builds while still leaving practical routing room around cages, plates, and other accessories.

Highlights

• Bidirectional timecode operation – supports timecode transfer in either direction between compatible Tentacle and camera hardware
• Panasonic Lumix support – designed for Lumix cameras with a Flash Synchro timecode connection, including S1H, GH5s, GH6, and GH7
• 90° lockable Flash Synchro connector – provides a secure camera-side connection with a compact cable exit
• Right-angle 3.5 mm TRS male – keeps the Tentacle-side connection close to the device instead of projecting straight outward
• Short 30 cm cable run – keeps timecode wiring manageable on handheld, cage-mounted, and multicamera setups

Why It Helps

The useful part of the C25 is that the timecode path works both ways. A Tentacle unit can feed timecode into the camera, or the camera-side connection can be part of a return sync path when the workflow calls for it. That gives crews more flexibility than a cable built for only one signal direction.

The connector layout also makes sense on compact camera builds. Both ends leave the cable at an angle, which helps keep the run close to the hardware rather than sticking straight out from the ports. The lockable Flash Synchro end adds a more secure connection at the camera side.

At 30 cm long, there is enough cable to route around a cage or mounting point without leaving a large loop hanging from the rig. For Lumix cameras carrying a Tentacle box alongside monitoring, wireless, or power accessories, that keeps the timecode connection easier to manage.
