how do I fix Inon optical cable to PTE-* housings

[globalmark]

Hi

I have just received my PTE-06 Housing and was putting it together , However I have a Inon s-2000 strobe and bought a New Inon Cable with it to go to the Housing , well one end screws onto the Inon strobe _ Ok however the other end has no fitting on it ,
does anyone know if I have to buy a Rubber Bush /cable end that fits in my Olympus Housing - of should it have come with the Cable ?? or am I supposed to drill a hole in the Rubber Plug that is in the optical cable socket of my housing when arrived ??

Any help would be great as none of the Instructions / Housing/Strobe/cable seems to cover this bit .

Thanks mark

Mark,
If the PTE-06 is similiar to the PTE-05; take the rubber bushing that came with the housing and just poke a hole in it with a paper clip end, slide the fiber optical cable into the bushing, attach the bushing to the housing. I think if you drill a hole in the bushing, the fiber optical cable will not fit tight enough and will fall out while diving.

Hi Steve

Thanks for the reply , I have found UWdigitalcamera.com in Japan who sold me the Strobe and cable also sells the correct Rubber bush for inon Cable for a Olympus Housings and only cost approx $2 us , so I have ordered a couple from him ( x2 bushes and postage cost less than $8).
I thought about poking a Hole through but was not sure if was correct thing to do , and if use the housing with only 1 strobe and poke a hole through both Rubber Bush's , I was not sure if this would make a Tiny hot spot ( small hole flash throught ) or something.
So for sake of a couple of dollars I have correct things on the way and can keep the ones that came with for spare's or blanking off the flash .

Thanks for reply anyway, one day I am sure I will lose the part and will poke a hole in the spares with a paperclip .
Thanks mark
