Which cable for Ion D2000?

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!

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!

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.

Thanks for the suggestions!
