AXON Flex Cables and Connectors

To best suit your requirements, you can chose from straight or coiled cables, and straight or right-angle 
connectors.  The cables also come in varying lengths. 

These cables are specifically calibrated to work with the AXON Flex system. Use of unapproved cables 
will degrade system performance and may cause the system to not function properly or at all.

Ensure that your cables are inserted properly into your AXON Flex camera and controller.  If the camera’s 
battery is low, and the cable is disconnected, your recorded video will be lost.
