Can you anyone tell me how to trigger ab1600 with TT5/TT1?

I saw some pictures that ab was connected to tt5 with syncord and they triggered with tt1.
is that correct?

So what is the sync cord I have to buy?

That is correct. I picked up a 1/8 mono male to male cord from Radio Shack. There is an attenuated one you'll want to avoid.

Works great.

Right, it must be mono and non-attenuated when using it with a Pocket Wizard. Radio Shack, well stocked photo supply stores, probably good music supply stores, Flash Zebra, as well as ourselves all stock these.

Hello Thanks for the reply.

I bought this

Cables Unlimited AUD-1100-06 6-Feet 3.5MM Male to Male Stereo Cable

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000SE ... ss_product

And I put the cord to pocketwizard tt5 P2 slot and the other end to alien bees 1600 to Sync slot.

But It doesn't work.

Let me know.. Please

That is a stereo cable, it needs to be mono, or one black stripe on the plug. Also make sure it is non attenuated. Any of the following should work. Ours will, but you may want to double check with other vendors.
