The 20' Remote Audio ENG Breakaway Cable with Timecode for The Sound Devices 633 transmits stereo audio over a pair of balanced XLR connectors and uses a dedicated 5-pin LEMO M to BNC RA plug to transmit timecode from your camera to the Sound Devices recorder. It also features a stereo return for sending the signal back to the camera. The cable comes with a carabiner for wrapping the extra slack and attaching the breakaway cable to equipment or a belt while on set.

I use my 633 for single camera interviews and run-and-gun work. I need a cable that sounds good and can take a beating sometimes. Remote Audio has made a great, robust cable. The connection between the camera end and the rest of the cable is solid and releases easily and the 90 degree BNC out for TC is a nice touch. At 20', the cable is a little short at times, but it is by no means a deal breaker. It might seem pricey at nearly $300, but I will tell you it is worth the investment. It quickly became a vital part of my 633 kit.
Remote Audio makes quality breakaway cables. I've used them with Sound Device 302's for many years with perfect performance. The addition of timecode in this breakaway is a must for most shoots these days. I can't understand why this cable would only send timecode and not receive it. I would return it but there isn't an option on the market that I could find that would send and receive timecode. I want it both ways!
This cable is perfect for production work, although the TCG is one direction only (from mixer to camera). The cable seems to be engineered with the working professional in mind, it is pliable yet durable with the only exception being the headphone jack on the camera side which feels a bit flimsy compared to the rest of the cables.
Outstanding cable, super useful in the field.
If you have a 633 this is must have. Plain and simple. Even if using wireless hops, there is always a need for a wire. Having the added Timecode built in with a return is absolutely amazing.
It's clear that this was made for a professional sound mixer. The length is perfect, it has the carabiner on the mixer side for strain relief and the velcro strap on the other side does the same thing for camera and also wraps it up at the end of the day.It's a cable, and it passed audio and timecode just like a decent cable should, so I don't have much to add there. It's worth the price tag.
This is a must have when doing any kind of locked-down interviews - allows you to send timecode, a LR mix as well as monitor the camera return. The cable is very sturdy and well built, and feels like it’ll be able to take some abuse out in the field. Get one!
This works great and provides exactly what you need for run-and-gun shoots or interview setups. I wish it was cheaper, but it does seem high quality.
