l.timphoto 1 Posted January 22 Im picking up an olympus tg6 and the olympus housing, what fiber optic cable do I need to use (a part number would help a lot!) to connect an Ion D2000 to the camera? Thanks! Tim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimG 62 Posted January 22 Hi Tim If you are planning to buy a commercial fibre optic cable they are all pretty much the same - other than making sure you have the right plugs at each end. If you are buying through an u/w camera company just let them know what you want to connect to what. You can chose between coiled cable and straight. Coiled seems a good idea but I found the coils can put an unnecessary strain on the connections - and I now only use straight. You can make your own cables by buying the plugs which are readily available and some 617-strand fibre optic cable. They are easy to make, tailored to your own needs, inexpensive (certainly compared to commercial ones) and very satisfying! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barmaglot 228 Posted January 22 Assuming you're using the Olympus PT-059 housing, you will need the PFCA-03 Optical cable adapter to replace the built-in flash diffuser, plus a pair of fiber optic cables to Sea & Sea plugs on one end, and Inon D-type caps on the other. If I understand the listings correctly, the adapter comes with two Sea & Sea type plugs, so you can get a cable such as this one and fit the bare end into one of those plugs.
