Most flash cables have a product code SC (= system cable) followed by a number, but some cables for rangefinder equipment were/are not marked. There are two cables (in 2 length) known for connecting a BCB-1, BCB-2 and BC-3 flash to a Nikon MS, Nikon S and Nikon S2 rangefinder camera. The Nikon S2 and later cameras have a flash connector, too. For the Nikon R8 & R10 movie cameras two remote release cables were available. Nearly all Nikon SLR cameras (except early Nikkormats) and high end compact film cameras have a so called hot shoe (= accessory shoe with flash connector). Coolpix cameras in the P-series do have a hot shoe as well.

Note: Do not forget to look into the manual of the devices you are willing to connect. Use Nikon cables only!
