TTL fibre optic cables for Nexus D300 and YS110 alpha ?

3 posts
  1. Hi all,

     

    Have recently acquired a new set of YS110a strobes and although I have the sync cables for my Nexus D300 housing, I want to test their TTL capability by using fibre optic cables and the internal pop-up flash of the D300.

     

    I am assuming (maybe incorrectly) that the L-connector from Sea and Sea will be compatible twith the fibre optic connector on the Nexus bulkhead.

     

    Anyone using the Nexus D300 with YS110a via fibre optic care to point me in the right direction? :-)

     

    Thanks

    Steve

  2. My Nexus D300 housing with fiber optic bulkheads does not accept the S&S L-connector on the fiber. Opening is too small. I use S&S YS 110's & 27's with S&S fiber cable. The bulkhead requires a 2mm fiber optic adapter to accommodate the S&S 2mm diameter cable without connector. Cut off the L-connector on one end. Just insert the bare cable in the adapter. If it comes out put it back in - even underwater. There's a very small o-ring in the adapter to help retain the fiber cable. Once installed the adapter is hard to remove, but really no need to do so unless you change cable diameter. Contact Joe here for adapters.

    Thanks for the clear and concise explanation. Now I can tell Santa what to bring me for Xmas. :-)
