Topic: Can anyone ID this cable/connector? Video oriented?

[runonce]

Got this cable with some other stuff - nice looking, twist lock - looks video oriented - for controlling a camera or something.

Wondering if anyone might recognize this? - no branding on the connector.

Thanks!

It reminds me of an old camcorder cable we had when I was a kid. The VHS deck could be detached from the base, put in a carrying case, and the camcorder plugged into it with a connector like this.

How many male pin-outs are there?

This might help you narrow it down too: http://www.hirose-connectors.com/connectors/index_cat.aspx

I'll double check  - but I think its 14.

You're thinking the same as me - I remember some video effects/camera control consoles that sat between the camera and deck that might have had a cable like this.

Its a nice cable - looks unused - its heading for ebay, just trying to get a handle on it's purpose.

It does say "HRS" in the female...so thanks for that link! (I could barely make out those letters)

Www.Pinouts.ru   Will probably have information on it. Might take a bit of digging

If I had to guess I would say you are 100% correct looks like a link between a old VHS camera and a VHS deck.

Hi runonce,

hrs = Hirose, a japanese connector manufacturer. Looks like their RP5-19 low cost connector family for video recorders and cameras.

A data sheet can be found here (bad scan quality):

Hope that helps.
