FAQs

Can you make custom cables?

Not right now. We used to take custom cable orders, but since each custom cable takes a fair amount of R&D and one-off parts buying, we've found that it's more efficient to focus our efforts on upcoming products. Contact store@thomsonvisuals.com for more details. 

How can I be sure these cables will work?

We test each StormCable with our own Komodo ST #234 to ensure each cable leaves our garage working perfectly. EVERY cable has been made by me or my team, here in California. There’s nothing worse than buying a piece of gear and having the most critical component be the most prone to failure. We’re trying to change that. 

Should I buy cables over a breakout box?

Generally speaking, breakout boxes tend to be more robust than cables, and offer more connectivity options than a straight or Y cable. With that said, cables are more affordable than breakout boxes, keep rigs lightweight, and are a great backup plan if you already own a breakout box. 

If you're looking for a micro breakout box solution, consider the Thomson Visuals StormBox Pro, featuring 5 pin Timecode, 4 pin CTRL, 3 pin Run/Stop and Genlock on BNC. The StormBox is the only versatile breakout box currently available for Komodo that includes a genuine right angle LEMO connector. With the included Storm Lock mounting system, you're able to mount the StormBox Pro wherever you'd like!
