I decided to buy 10bar housing for Oly E-PL1 instead of Oly OEM housing. Oly housing does not have bulk connector - and I want to use my 10bar housed strobe (Metz 58AF-1 for Olympus/Panasonic camera) I bought separately from 10bar; rather than to buy new strobe with fiberoptic connector.
The sync. cord (OPM5-NKM) supplied by 10bar (not by optical ocean) as part the 10bar housing package can not be used to connect those housings. I also have Epoque ES-SC-OLF sync. cord for olympus housing. I can not use this sync. cord too. I borrow my friend's oly sync. cord - but still can not be used. The connectors do not fit. It fit one side only.
I asked Jack - and sent him the following pictures of the bulkhead connector on both housings.

The bulkhead connector on the 10bar housing for Metz 58AF-1 flash for Olympus/panny camera.
He adviced to use S&S Nikonos V sync. cord.
I get it though not cheap.
Guess - Does not fit
This cable also has different ends. Only one end can be connected to either the camera housing or housed strobe.
Note - all the other three sync. cord can also be connected on one end only.
I don't know what I can do now .. next week I'll be going for dive trip to Ambon.
Thanks much for any advice and suggestion ..
I have three sync. cord that can not be used
Any DIY to modify these cable ?
