Product Information
The SeaLife Flash Link Optical Cable is a 16"/41cm fiber optic sync cable that connects SeaLife or other optically synced flashes and strobes to SeaLife underwater cameras, firing the flash reliably in all light conditions and aiming positions.
Who it is for
This cable is for underwater photographers running a SeaLife camera with an external flash or strobe who need a dependable optical sync connection on a flash arm rig. It suits divers who want a flexible, coiled cable that resists kinking as they reposition lights between shots.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cameras and strobes work with the SeaLife Flash Link Optical Cable?
This cable is compatible with all SeaLife or optically synced flashes and strobes, and it connects to SeaLife underwater cameras. It is designed as the sync connection between those two components, so any optically triggered flash in that compatibility range will fire through this cable.
How long is the SeaLife Flash Link Optical Cable?
The cable measures 16 inches, or 41cm, in a coiled, flexible design. Its durable casing is built to prevent kinks in the optical channel while still allowing it to flex as you reposition a strobe on a flash arm.
Does the Flash Link Optical Cable include a way to mount it to my flash arm?
Yes. The package includes two hook-and-loop ties specifically for securing the cable to a flash arm, in addition to the one Flash Link Optical Cable itself, so no separate mounting hardware is needed.
What is the Flash Link cable made of?
The optical fiber core is Polymethyl-Methacrylate Resin with a Fluorinated Polymer cladding in a step-index profile, rated at a numerical aperture of .50. The outer buffer/jacket is pink polyethylene marked Eska™ Premier, and the fiber has a tensile strength of 70 N.
