FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this cable?

This cable extends the connection between your Elinchrom Quadra flash head and battery pack by an additional 5 meters, allowing for greater flexibility in flash placement.

Will this cable affect my flash power?

Extension cables can result in a slight reduction in flash power and a minor increase in flash duration due to signal transmission over a longer distance. This effect is usually minimal for most applications.

Is this cable compatible with all Elinchrom lights?

No, this cable is specifically designed for the Elinchrom Quadra system and its flash heads.

Can I use this cable outdoors?

While it can be used outdoors, it's recommended to protect it from moisture and extreme weather conditions. It is primarily designed for studio use.

What is the length of the cable?

The cable is 5 meters long.

Is this a straight or angled cable?

This is the straight version of the cable.

How should I store this cable to ensure longevity?

Store the cable loosely coiled, avoiding tight bends or kinks, and keep the connectors clean and dry.

Troubleshooting

Flash head not firing when connected

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected to the flash head and battery pack. Verify the battery pack is charged and functioning. Try reconnecting the cable or testing with a shorter cable if available.

Intermittent connection or signal loss

Check the cable connectors for any dirt or damage. Gently clean the connectors with a dry cloth. Ensure the cable is not under excessive tension or being kinked.

Reduced flash output

This is a known characteristic of extension cables. Ensure the battery pack is fully charged. If the reduction is significant, inspect the cable for damage or try a different cable.
