Extending the Canon OCSC2 with a keyboard cable

Step 1
The first step is the most unnerving. You have to cut a perfectly good $60 cable in half. Fortunately, I have 3 of these – two camera rigs plus a backup. But it still was a little tough to bring myself to cut it in half. I cut it as close to in half as I could without actually measuring.

You will then need to strip off about 2 inches of the black coating to expose the individual wires. Inside you will see red, white, blue, green, and black wires surrounded by an uncoated stranded wire. Unwrap the uncoated wire and twist it together. Strip about half an inch off each of the individual wires.
