to download data)
| _will work with the following Nikon cameras: | N90, N90s F90, F90x F100 F5 |

|
Notes: - In order for your camera to start recording data you must instruct it to do so from the software (except for F5). It will not record any data until this is activated ! |
||
| -
If you are looking for the MC-31 MC31 cable, please note
that this is the same cable except that it uses a D-9 pin computer connector
and MC-31 uses the old style D-25 pin connector. In this case use a standard D-25 to D-9 adapter in order to use this cable. |
||
| - If your computer has USB serial port, than use a standard USB to D-9 adapter. | ||
After
I published my first design, I got many requests from photographers
all over the world to build this cable since it had been
discontinued.
Eventually I made a limited batch of DataCable2
that were sold out.
I
am NOT compromising on quality. In this high quality DataCable2 you'll find: |
|
1. |
_Small electronics box |
2. |
_Professionally made PCB with protective solder mask layer |
3. |
_High quality components |
4. |
_Cable Strain Relief |
5. |
_Batteries free. Power is received from camera |
6. |
_Lenght of ~8' (2.5m) , Much more than MC-33 |
7. |
and
most important, you'll find
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. |

| F. from Netherlands: |
"I
already received the DataCable2 yesterday! That's nearly five days. It was very well packed, clear manual included. I connected it to my F90X and F100 with a USB-to-serial connector into my laptop. Didn't even needed a serial gender changer. It works perfect (in combination with SoftTalk 2000)!!! Great service, so many thanks for this." |
| G. from France: |
"I
received the DataCable2 yesterday and I connected my camera F100 to my
PC as described into the package. The cable and the software I purchased
(Camera Companion) work well. I test to download data from the F100 on
my PC and store them into an Access DataBase, and it's OK. I found the DataCable2 is well made. Good job ! I thank you very much for your prompt answer to my request and for the quality of your service." |
| E. from USA: |
"I received the cable today and tried it on two different Nikon F5s. I was using Windows XP SP2 and a Phoebe Airlink 101 D9/USB cable/connector. Everything worked fine, and in fact, I had far fewer communication timeouts with your cable than the Nikon MC-33. I'm not sure why, but that really was the case--only one time out with both cameras and all of the testing I performed. For some reason the metering status test using the MC-33 frequently caused communication timeouts, but in the "torture testing" I did with your cable I only got one, and that was recoverable. Must be something different, and for the better, in your cable electronics vs. that used in the Nikon MC-33" |
