V6 Trigger To Strobes
I have 3 Paul Buff X3200 strobe lights that are all synced to each other. I would like to fire them using the two Cactus V6s that I have. Please let me know if this is the correct set up:
1 V6 attached to the hotshoe of the camera, set in TX mode, channel 1
1 V6 plugged into the 6/5 mm sync port of one of the flash units, using this cable: http://store.cactus-image.com/cactus-coiled-3-5mm-plug-cable-with-6-35mm-plug-adapter-ca-360/ set to RX mode, channel 1.
I just wanted to confirm that this set up will work, and that this is the correct cable to use for this application. My coworker shoved the plug for a PC cable into one of the V6s, thinking that would work to sync. Hope he hasn't damaged the port!
Thanks

Yes, 6.35mm (or 1/4") sync cable is the correct one for connecting the V6 to your strobe. The sync cable only sends out a very low power signal and it won't be able to damage the port nor the strobe.
The basic setup you mentioned is correct, though I am not sure how they sync with each other and that with a V6 connected to one of them would be able to trigger the other two strobes at the same time and sync with camera.
Thanks and keep us posted!
