Cable for cameras with Canon Lens Control

If using Canon EOS active lens control with the camera, use CBL-IO12-0002 cable to connect

lens to the camera. The CBL-IO12-0002 cable is sold separately and used for transmitting

power, lens control, trigger input, and strobe output signals. It terminates in a female

HIROSE plug #HR10A-10P-12S(73) on one end and on a female Sam Woo and two BNC

connectors on opposing end (see

Figure 3
