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!
