[nostalgia]

Looking to buy one. Please PM me if you have one for sale.

There are some on eBay but they are all missing the wire.

Thanks!

Hope you find one. Got a NIB unit for a smokin' good deal a few years ago and it works great with E-9, though not 10. But you can capture in 9 and edit in 10 on the same machine.

Do you need for a laptop or a Desktop? A Matrox MX02 is pretty much the same thing, which I use. I think I have 2 more in a closet. But as said, GV screwed using in E-10 but E-9 works good. Also, Matrox has their own capture software.

Did some research. As you know, these Storm Mobile data cables have become unicorns. I'm guessing somebody somewhere in the GV organization might have a drawer full of them, maybe in Japan, but who knows?

The cable consists of Hirose 18-pin male connectors, that look sort of like an oversized SATA cable connector.

Contacted Hirose:

Thank you for your inquiry. The part on the cable from your photo is a Hirose ST40X-18S-CV(30). Hirose doe not make cable assemblies on this; it was most likely made by the OEM or a third party. You would have to purchase the connector and either do the cable assembly yourself or have it done by a cable assembly house. Heilind Electronics has about 500 pieces in stock at this time (https://www.heilind.com/hirst40x-18s-cv30.htm

ST series catalog, 2D drawing and assembly instructions for ST40X-18S-CV(30) are attached for reference.

There’s a cable clamp ST40X-CM(4.0) and bushing ST40X-BS(4.0) that are sold separately.

I should note that the ST40X-18S-CV(30) connector is rated for use with a max 4.0mm cable diameter; the cable diameter in the photo appears to be larger than 4mm. I mention this because if the cable is larger than 4mm, the cable clamp and bushing noted above will not work. However, we do have a ST40X-18S-CV1(30) part that is rated for a 5.8mm diameter cables.
