I am looking to buy a S&S YS-02 for my RX100/Nauticam camera and housing. I can't figure out which optical cable I should be getting for the YS-02. Anyone have an idea?

Also, the likely tray will also be Nauticam with maybe a StiX arm. Anyone have any suggestions for a similar or slightly less expensive option?

Thanks.

Just to add to this, I think it's an "L" type, but does that mean any L type fibre optic cable or is that brand specific?
 
The Sony RX100 has TTL flash in all modes. It makes sense to buy a TTL strobe so you should look at least to the YS-01, if you don't have enough money I recommend you save.
Without a TTL strobe the internal flash of the camera will still do TTL and blast a lot of full power shots which will make it recycle slow and use more battery.
Ideally you need a sea and sea L type cable but is quite expensive
Ultralight trays work out cheaper than Nauticam for your set up you want at least a 5" segment and two clamps alternatively you can get a locline 3/4 you will learn soon that it is not ideal but could go for a year or so before you change it
