I’m using four Yongnuo YN568EX II flashes, each with its own YN622C receiver, all controlled by a YN622C-TX transmitter. Can I connect the flashes together with cables so that only one YN622C receiver is needed, while still using the YN622C-TX to control them? If so, what kind of adapters or cables would be required?

You need:

Some hot shoes adapters: https://www.google.com/search?q=flash+hot+shoe+adapter

A splitter or two: https://www.google.com/search?q=flash+splitter

and some cable: https://www.google.com.mx/search?q=flash+cable

But honestly the radio recivers are very cheap, and you can use optical slave mode.

P.S. Control, no, just fire them.

You may be able to make all four flashes fire from a single YN622C receiver by using hot-shoe adapters, splitters, and flash sync cables. However, based on the community answers, this setup would only trigger the flashes—it would not preserve full remote control of each flash from the YN622C-TX.

So the practical distinction is:

one receiver + cables: likely fire only
one receiver per flash: full radio control

If you want independent remote control or normal YN622 system behavior, keep a receiver on each flash. If you only need them to fire together, a wired splitter setup could work with the appropriate hot-shoe adapters and sync cables.

Another simple option mentioned was using optical slave mode instead of wiring the flashes together.
