Optical Cable for Z-240 to PT-EP08?

[carvemeister]

Quick question - Just jumped into my first U/W camera setup after finding a very cheap PT-EP08 for my "backup" camera the E-M5. (I also have the E-M1, but not ready to dunk that just yet). I decided to take a shot on the Z-240 from a Japanese dealer on eBay. Just realized though that I have no idea what kind of cable will be required to connect these two. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Thanks!!

You can buy an optical cable with an Inon connection, I seem to remember they are about $US80. OR you could do what I did and make your own optical cable, I bought a metre of optical cable from an electronics store and a packet of rubber grommets from a car parts shop total cost about $5.

I am not the most practical but it is easy to make up.

Thanks for the reply! I did find the correct cable and it wasn't too expensive here: Bluewater Fiber Optic Cable- Inon Strobe to Sea & Sea Style Housing | Bluewater Photo & Video It works great!
