Available in a standard 50cm coiled length (with one straight side option at ~100cm), the cable fits many popular TTL and manual strobe brands and keeps optical triggering efficient in demanding saltwater conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this fiber optic cord maintain strong light signals underwater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cord's construction uses 613 densely packed microfibers with a high refractive index and Japanese-imported materials to minimize light loss. Its small 1.5mm diameter and core design keep signal attenuation low even when flexed, so the strobe receives a consistent trigger pulse from the camera's flash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e613 microfibers for concentrated light transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-refractive-index material reduces scattering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOnly 1.5mm overall diameter for space-efficient routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimal attenuation when bent or coiled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich strobes and camera housings are compatible with this cable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fiber optic lead is compatible with many underwater strobes and housings that use optical triggering, including popular TTL and manual units.
