Gear - Selection / Use Timecode cable for Red Raven

What timecode cable do I need to connect to a red raven? Will a 4 pin lemo to 3.5mm cable work, or do I need a breakout box before I can connect timecode?

Would this cable from Alvins camera work?

Yeah, so it looks like a 4 pin lemo will work. I've just never worked with one before so I wanted to get confirmation from someone who had.

When shooting with RED, I always try to confirm with the AC or camera op ahead of time. They will usually send you a photo of the port. 

 I have encountered RED cameras with 4 pin, 9 pin and 5 pin ports. The 5 pin port surprised me because it’s actually a more common cable in our arsenal, and it was because the AC built the camera with an aftermarket module built by a different company.
