The B&H photo shows a long plunger-looking doohickey, like the adapter that
you might use to inflate a basketball with a tire pump. I assume it makes

Quite possible. My mistake. I sold my cable some time ago and haven't used

probably wait till I'm working again, next month. B&H claims to have them
in stock.
Boz, please clarify the Cable Switch A compatibility on your site.
