WARNING : The information presented
here describes my own experience.
It is NOT in any way an official suggestion nor instructions
to be followed.

As I already mentioned,
after
I published my DataCable1 design, I got many requests
from photographers
all over the world to build this cable since it had been discontinued.
Requests also asked for a cable to be compatible
to N90 / F100 / F5 and
without the interface cable that was made in DataCable1.
| 1.
Direct camera-computer cable (no interface cable) Compatible to Nikon MC-33 MC33 / MC-31 MC31 cables. |
|
| 2. Length of ~8' (2.5m) for ease of use. Much more than MC-33 | |
| 3. Work with N90(s) / F90(x) / F100 / F5 | |
| 4. Work with major data collecting software | |
| 5. Batteries FREE. Power is received from camera. |
I am NOT compromising on quality and in DataCable2 I used:
| 1. Smaller electronics box, | |
| 2.
Professionally custom made
PCB according Avi's design including a protective solder mask layer. |
|
| 3. High quality components | |
| 4. Cable ends are secured to box with high quality Strain Relief | |
| and
most important, 5. GENUINE Nikon 10 pin connector |
using
Nikon 10 pin connector is VERY important because it is the only connector that ensures: |
|
1. |
_Safe and reliable attachment to camera using a threaded metal locking ring. |
2.
|
_High quality and precise mechanical and electrical contacts. |
3.
|
_Correct
orientation
to camera without a possibility for wrong attachment that might damage
your camera/computer. _It has mating slides to guide the attachment process. |
4.
|
_Mating strength since ALL 10 pins are presented. |
5.
|
_Industry standard quality of pins to internal wires connection. |
I
could have used a cheaper connector like those offered by others and
saved about $30 but I decided not to compromise on this critical component. |
|
When
it comes to quality and protecting your expensive camera, my decision
was to build a professional cable, no matter what
it costs. |
