Blackmagic Design USB-C Cable for Zoom and Focus Demand

The Blackmagic Design USB-C Cable for Zoom and Focus Demand is a high-reliability data cable designed to connect the Blackmagic Zoom Demand and Focus Demand units to compatible cameras. Unlike standard consumer USB-C cables, this version is specifically engineered for rigorous production environments where a disconnected cable can result in lost shots.

Core Functionality

  • Secure Locking Connection: The most critical feature is the integrated anchor screws on both ends of the cable. These screws lock the cable into the USB-C ports of both the camera and the demand unit, preventing accidental disconnections caused by camera movement, vibration, or cable snags.

  • Daisy Chaining Support: This cable is used to "loop" or daisy chain units together. For example, you can run one cable from the camera to the Focus Demand, and a second cable from the Focus Demand to the Zoom Demand. This allows both controls to operate using a single USB-C port on the camera.

  • Power and Data: The cable provides both the power needed to run the demand units and the high-speed data transmission required for latency-free lens control.

Technical Specifications

Feature Details
Connector Type USB-C to USB-C (Male to Male)
Length 40 inches (approx. 1 meter / 102 cm)
Security Locking anchor screws on both connectors
Material Heavy-duty shielded jacket
Weight ~12.3 oz (350g)

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with the following hardware:

  • Cameras:

    • Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Plus / Pro / G2

    • Blackmagic Studio Camera 6K Pro

    • Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2

    • Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro / G2 (with specific firmware)

  • Accessories:

    • Blackmagic Zoom Demand

    • Blackmagic Focus Demand

Operational Insight (2026)

In 2026, while many 10G USB-C cables can technically pass the data required for focus and zoom, the Blackmagic-branded version is highly recommended for Jib, Crane, or Studio Tripod setups. Standard cables lack the physical locking mechanism, and the USB-C port on a moving camera is a common point of mechanical failure.

Pro Tip: If you are using the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro, using this cable to daisy chain your demands allows you to keep the second USB-C port on the camera free for Blackmagic Cloud proxy uploading or recording to an external SSD.
