is this an ARRI VEAM plug?

[Clermond]

I bought two sets of ArriSun5 with a simple 19" EB from a booth builder. Unfortunately the EBs have a noisy fan. They were not too expensive (400,-€ each set). I though I could use them for shots where I don't need audio and get a better EB later, but in the meanwhile it could be a good idea to have a extension cable. The cable came today but the plug does not fit. I thought the ballast has a VEAM connection but it's slightly different from the cable. I am not sure if I ordered the wrong cable of if the ballast has a "special" connector


ballast plug, inner diameter about 26mm about 1 1⁄32in

externsion cable, inner diameter 30mm about 1 3⁄16 in

It's even a little worse. I thought the lamphead has the small "Schaltbau" plug but it came out it's a Amphenol plug...


Does anybody know if the cable I bought is a standard VEAM? If so I will ask an electrician modify the lamphead. If not I have to send it back.

Thanks for your expert advice

Here is a link to various mfg connectors.

It is possible that if it isn't an Arri ballast they provided you with an adapter cable, the 8 pin male to the ballast and a 7 pin female to the head . But unless they changed the connector on the head as well I would think a standard Arri cable would work as an extension to the cable they provided.
