All Cables are tested at the factory and at Sideline Power with a Sony RM-VPR1 and a Sony HDR CX405 camcorder prior to shipping.

These cables only work with the Sony Brand Remote Control units, which are the Sony RM-VPR1 and the Sony VCT-VPR1 tripod remotes.

The extension or replacement cables on this page are only for the Sony RM-VPR1, and the Sony VCT-VPR1.  These cables have a male Multiport connector on both ends, allowing you to extend the distances between the remote and the camera.

They are available in four lengths, 12 ft., 18 ft., 27 ft. and 37 ft. They are heavy duty and made with heavy gauge wires so there will not be any signal loss between the remote and the cameras.

The 37 ft. cable weights one pound as it is a very thick cable, plus it is completely shielded.  NOTE:  YOU MUST be careful with the connectors as they are very tiny and will damage if you are not careful with them.  Why Sony went to this type of small fragile connector is beyond me, but you need to handle them very carefully.

These extension cables are perfect for use with End Zone camera and Sideline camera setups.


Attention Coaches:  While this cable is heavy duty and is perfect for End Zone and Sideline camera setups.  PLEASE warn who ever is setting up and working with the End Zone Camera equipment, that the connectors are very small and fragile and they must handle them with care.  They are NOT rugged like a football.

How to use the Cable

Power the camera OFF when plugging in or unplugging the cable. Or you may damage the remote controller.

Unplug the cable that came with the the Sony RM-VPR1 or VCT-VPR1 remote controller, as you will be replacing that cable with one of our 12ft, 18ft, 27 ft. or 37ft. cables.

Next, the Grey end of the cable plugs into the remote and the Black end plugs into the camera. We have a label on the cable to remind you which end plugs into the camera.  (NOTE: Do NOT remove the label as it also has the serial number for the cable on the one side.  The serial number is needed for your warranty.)

Make sure you are plugging the cable in the correct way, or you may damage the connector.


When you plug the cable in, you should hear or feel it click into place.  Please make sure the cable is plugged in all the way.

If the remote will not control the camera, then power off the camera and unplug and replug in both ends of the cable.  As they may not be getting a good connection.

This cable is also called a Sony Multiport extension cable, Sony Multi Terminal Cable or a Sony Multiport replacement cable.

NOTE: While they may look like a USB cable they are NOT. They are made with the 15 pin connector that Sony uses for the Multiport connection on the video camera and the remote control.


It is the customers responsibility to provide some type of strain relief for the connector and they must be handled with care.
