Comments about Paramount Paramount 1' Straight Sync Cord, Household (AC) Male to PC:
I use these adapters on either end of a HH Female to HH Female extension cord made from 16 gauge speaker wire. One goes into the camera, the other goes into a shoe adapter with PC port. They've proven very reliable and maintain 1/250th sync speeds with my Sony a700.
"Strobist" recommends a 6" cord of the same type, but 1' is long enough to wind around a light stand to take weight off of the connectors.
Simply put, they're a great solution to cheap, modular lighting equipment.

This was a back up cord for a location job.
