Paramount G2-1S Gold Plated Household to PC Long Tip 12in Straight Sync Cord

The Paramount G2-1S Gold Plated Household to PC Long Tip 12in Straight Sync Cord is a compact, purpose-built connection cable for photographers and lighting users who need a dependable wired sync link between compatible equipment. Featuring a household sync connection on one end and a PC long-tip connector on the other, this cord is designed for classic flash synchronization tasks in studio, location, and legacy lighting workflows.

Compatible With

• Cameras with a standard PC sync terminal
• Flash units, strobes, and power packs with a household sync connection
• Lighting systems requiring a household-to-PC sync cable with a long-tip PC end

Compact 12-Inch Sync Connection

At 12 inches in length, the G2-1S is especially useful when your camera, flash adapter, or lighting connection points are positioned close together. The shorter cable run helps reduce excess slack, making it a smart option for neat studio carts, tightly packed lighting rigs, and straightforward point-to-point connections where a longer cord would be unnecessary.

Gold-Plated Connectors for Reliable Contact

The use of gold-plated contacts helps promote consistent conductivity and corrosion resistance over time. For photographers who work with sync-sensitive flash setups, dependable connector contact matters. Gold plating can help minimize signal interruption and maintain a solid connection, especially in gear bags and working environments where cables may be plugged and unplugged often.

Household to PC Long Tip Design

This cable bridges two common sync connection formats found in photographic lighting equipment. The household end is widely used on studio flash systems and accessories, while the PC long-tip end is designed for compatible camera or adapter connections that benefit from the extended tip style. This makes the cord especially useful in mixed lighting setups, older systems, and specialty triggering configurations where exact connector style matters.

Straight Cable Routing

The straight connector configuration on this model keeps installation simple and predictable. It is well suited to situations where the cable can run directly between two connection points without the tighter turning radius of a right-angle design. For photographers working on stands, brackets, or fixed tabletop layouts, a straight sync cord can be the most direct and practical choice.

Useful for Studio and Legacy Lighting Workflows

While many modern systems rely on wireless triggering, wired sync cords remain important in many professional and enthusiast setups. They can provide a direct physical connection for dependable triggering, are useful when integrating older strobes or packs, and can serve as a backup option in critical shoots. The Paramount G2-1S fits well into these workflows by offering a specialized connection type from a brand known for cable solutions in the photo industry.

Why Choose a Short Sync Cord?

A shorter sync cable like this one can help reduce clutter around the camera and lighting position, making it easier to keep workspaces organized. It can also be preferable for close-range connections on camera brackets, compact monolight arrangements, or test bench setups where long cable loops would only get in the way. If your devices are located near each other, a 12-inch cable can be a cleaner and more efficient solution.

Recommended Accessories

To get the most from this sync cord, users often pair it with compatible flash brackets, hot shoe to PC adapters, studio strobes, sync extension cables, and cable management accessories such as hook-and-loop ties. A backup sync cord is also a smart addition for photographers working on professional assignments or with older lighting systems.
