Universal Dual Y Fiber Optic Strobe Cable – Sea & Sea & Compatible Strobes

Connect two underwater strobes to a single camera housing optical port with the Universal Dual Y Fiber Optic Strobe Cable. Designed specifically for dual-strobe underwater photography setups, this Y-shaped optical sync cable features one main camera-side connection that splits into two separate strobe connections, allowing both strobes to receive the camera’s optical flash trigger.

The coiled design keeps your underwater camera rig organised while providing the flexibility needed when positioning two strobe arms for macro, wide-angle and general underwater photography.

One Camera Connection – Two Strobes

Unlike a standard single fiber optic cable, this dual Y cable divides the optical trigger signal from one camera housing connection into two individual fiber optic leads.

This allows you to run:

1 camera/housing optical connection → 2 external underwater strobes

Both strobes receive the optical trigger signal from the camera, making it a convenient solution for photographers who want the improved lighting coverage, reduced shadows and greater creative control offered by a twin-strobe underwater camera system.

Reliable Optical Strobe Triggering

The cable carries the light pulse generated by your camera’s flash or compatible optical trigger to both connected strobes, causing them to fire in response to the camera.

Depending on your camera, housing and strobe combination, it can support:

• Manual optical flash triggering
• TTL optical triggering
• sTTL compatible systems

TTL and sTTL operation depends on the capabilities of your individual camera, housing and strobes.

Sea & Sea-Style Multi-Brand Compatibility

Featuring Sea & Sea-style optical connections, the cable is designed for compatible Sea & Sea underwater strobes and housings.

It may also suit selected underwater photography equipment from brands including:

• Sea & Sea
• INON
• Ikelite
• Weefine
• Kraken
• Retra
• Intova
• Fantasea
• Other housings and strobes using compatible Sea & Sea-style optical ports

Compatibility depends on the specific optical port and connector fitted to your equipment, and some systems may require an additional adapter.

Flexible Coiled Y-Cable Design

The coiled sections provide extra reach as your strobe arms are extended while retracting when the strobes are moved closer to the housing.

This helps keep excess cable under control and reduces loose fiber optic cable around your tray, clamps and lighting arms.

Because the cable splits into two separate strobe leads, each strobe can be positioned independently while remaining connected to the same camera-side optical trigger.

Features & Benefits

• Dual Y fiber optic design – connects one camera housing optical output to two strobes
• Twin strobe triggering – allows both compatible strobes to receive the camera flash signal
• Sea & Sea-style connectors – suitable for compatible underwater optical ports
• Multi-brand compatibility – works with selected strobes and housings from several underwater photography brands
• Coiled construction – stretches with your strobe arms and retracts to reduce excess cable
• Optical signal transmission – no traditional electrical sync contacts required
• Manual, TTL and sTTL compatible where supported
• Independent strobe positioning – separate leads allow flexible left and right strobe placement
• Lightweight and compact – ideal for travel and underwater camera rigs
• Protective outer cable construction – helps protect the internal optical fibers
• Ideal replacement or spare cable – useful addition to an underwater photography save-a-dive kit
• Suitable for macro and wide-angle photography

Why Use a Dual Strobe Fiber Optic Cable?

A dual-strobe setup can provide more even illumination across your subject and gives you greater control over underwater lighting. Two strobes can be positioned independently to help reduce harsh shadows, improve subject coverage and create more balanced lighting for larger scenes.

The Y-cable design achieves this using one camera-side connection rather than requiring two separate full-length sync cables, helping keep your underwater camera system cleaner and easier to manage.
