Need a retainer for fiber optic cable

Hi Guys,

I just purchased a YS-90 and it comes with that diffuser that only goes 2/3 of the way up and doesn't have a retaining ring for the optic cable.

I also have already an optic cable, but it didn't come with a retaining ring or a connection for the housing.

I have found this

But it costs almost $50!!!

Is there a better solution?

I also don't have the velcro part that is supposed to go on the housing. Could you guys please point me to a solution?

Thanks so much

What did you end up doing? I am taking a YS90DX out of storage and putting it together with a small U/W travel kit. My new setup will utilize the fiber sync also.

I bought the diffuser with a retainer from a member of the forum.

Then I used the 1st solution available here

I used an epoxy glue to glue the inside and the outside together.

Now I am trying to figure out how to connect the other end of the fiber optic cable to the housing.

I see you hacked two different types of diffuser/fiber adapters (top pics vs bottom pics). Which style do you like better and why. On second style (pg3), how is the fiber connector attached. I assume it's the double sided tape you mentioned. Is that waterproof?

Thanks.
