Correct cord for Canon 580EX II
Bought this cord to use with my Canon 580EX II because it was recommended that my radio trigger will work better (be more secure) with this screw type cord.
Fits perfectly....Read complete review

Fits perfectly.
No issues.
Works with CyberSync™ CSRB as well.

Not so swell with Canon
We thought this product would work with Canon flashes too, but it doesn't seem to be too reliable.

Convenient and good quality sync cord for Pocket Wizard to speedlight connection. Many of the cheaper cables malfunction not long after purchase. This one is durable. I recommend it.

Comments about PocketWizard PC5N Locking PC Sync Cable - 5.0' (1.5 m) Coiled:
This cable solves the problem of loose PC connections causing misfires with remote flashes. I use it to connect Nikon SB900's to a remote trigger. The screw connection works like a charm and is reliable with this cable. The cord is a nice heavy weigh construction built for durability.

Comments about PocketWizard PC5N Locking PC Sync Cable - 5.0' (1.5 m) Coiled:
I bought this cable to replace a PC Sync Cable that did not have a locking mechanism. This cable is definitely more secure and reliable for trigging my Speedlites remotely with my Pocketwizards. Surprisingly, the locking PC Sync cables are very hard to find.

Comments about PocketWizard PC5N Locking PC Sync Cable - 5.0' (1.5 m) Coiled:
Only used at one event so far (thus the 4 stars) but they apear to be the answer to my mis-fires with my pocket wizards and 580exII flashes. Had many issues with the cables coming loose or just turning in the socket causing flashes not to fire. Used this cable on Saturday and the flash fired consistently all night (except when the batteries were due to be replaced in the system.) Only thing I don't love is that the chord is a little long but it is a minor issue.

Comments about PocketWizard PC5N Locking PC Sync Cable - 5.0' (1.5 m) Coiled:
If you want to use something like a 580EXII with an Elinchrom or similar receiver, this cable is perfect and the connection the to flash screws in and is secure - should come in the box with the receiver - duh!
Extra coil of cable is probably not necessary, but otherwise great connection.

Comments about PocketWizard PC5N Locking PC Sync Cable - 5.0' (1.5 m) Coiled:
Like many others, I've struggled using my PocketWizard Plus IIs with my SB-900 speed lights because the standard cords don't create a reliable connection, so I normally use an SB-800 with them. With this cord, the fit is tight and the screw-in connection ensures a lasting fit. If you're going to use the PW Plus II with an SB-900, go ahead an order one because you eventually will anyway.

This is a good cable if you are using a PW Plus II in conjunction with an on-camera flash. I just wish it was shorter. Very solid connections though.

Comments about PocketWizard PC5N Locking PC Sync Cable - 5.0' (1.5 m) Coiled:
Just months after I bought my pocket wizards the cords that came in the box starting just coming out of the connection - wouldn't stay put. Someone suggested I purchase these and now I can use my pocket wizards without having to hold in the PC cord contact. These are great, and actually should just come with the pocket wizards since the order cords are so awful.

Comments about PocketWizard PC5N Locking PC Sync Cable - 5.0' (1.5 m) Coiled:
I was using a regular sync cord to connect my pocket wizard to my sb900. I was never sure when the flash would fire... I had to put tape on the sync cord to keep it from falling off.
With this cord, there are no more missed flashes. The screw lock connects to the flash and does not come off... wonderful.
If you are using a cord without a screw-Lock, then you should absolutely get this cord... you will not regret it.
