Hi I had this same issue with another brand of u.w camera. There are probably easier ways to go but I went the long way around to solve this. I bought some small plastic nuts and bolts from a local electronics shop. Drilled into the bolt head the diameter of the cable then siliconed the nut to the camera case - to the flash area or where it won't get bumped. Screw the bolt into the attached nut and insert cable into drilled hole. It works for me. Black out around the existing flash and let the cable do the work. This way I figured you can get the silicone off without too much damage to the housing if need be. Cheers Fishfngr

@RDRINK25:
I was wondering the same thing. Would this housing happen to be the DMW-MCFT2? I just bought this housing from B&H, so maybe we're in the same boat.

yes it is you need the adaptor that inon makes for there strobes it is a "w35 cap". I ordered one from reefphoto.com it was $30. Then depending on your strobe is what fibre optic cable you will need. Here is a pic of the cap it is on the right side of the pic.
