The Atomos USB Type-C to Serial LANC Calibration Cable is 13" long end-to-end and allows you to connect virtually any Atomos monitor or monitor/recorder to a computer for use with select calibration systems. When using the Atomos calibration software, which is provided as a free download for Windows and Mac on the Atomos website, this cable can be used with the X-Rite i1 Display Pro calibration hardware. But you can also use optional third-party calibration software, in which case the cable can be used with any calibration hardware compatible with that software, such as Datacolor Spyder systems in many cases. The cable features a USB Type-C computer interface and has a 2.5mm LANC connector on the other end. Almost every Atomos monitor has a matching 2.5mm LANC port.

Good cord, bad price

This cord works great for my zcam e2 with my ninja v but taking off a star for it being such an overpriced item, especially for just being a cord.

I could not calibrate the monitors, and the brand new Atomos USB Type-C to Serial LANC Calibration Cable does not work! I am not the only one having issues with this cable. The reviews on B&H and the number of youtube videos all state that this type of cable is rubbish. The customer service from the support team at Atomos is ok; We went back and forward trying to find a solution. Unfortunately, we couldn't figure it out, leaving me with uncalibrated monitors and an overpriced/useless cable. The software won't detect the monitors; when it does, it won't detect the calibration probe. Don't waste your money

Has anyone gotten a successful reading? 8 of 10 attempts it says reconnect the reader and restart the device and when it does start the reading it says error 0 nits.
The Atomos USB Type-C to Serial LANC Calibration Cable (13") (B&H# ATATOMCAB018) can indeed require several attempts in order to get it to work. There are only two common scenarios we know whereby the process does consistently fail. First, it will fail if an incompatible colorimeter is used such as the X-Rite i1 Display or Plus (non Pro) or the Calibrite ColorChecker Display or Plus (non Pro). That's because the Pro version of those must be used. Second, while this cable is used with many different monitors, on many of then you must go to the input settings on the recorder then make sure the Remote is set to Calibration/LANC before use.

Cable length is listed at 6 feet - that has to be a typo, right?
Hello Matt, yes that is definitely wrong, should be 12" only.

Is there any difference between the USB-C and USB-A? I'm looking to use it for my Atomos Ninja V for color calibration. Will the USB-C version work with the X-Rite Pro for this purpose?
Both cables have the same function, the only difference is the USB type. Yes, the USB-C version will work with the X-Rite Pro.
