DIY Fibre Optic Cable
Anyone knows where to get a DIY fibre optic cable? i guess such cable should be really cheap but i have no idea where to get them. I just need it to pick up a flash signal to fire a strobe on slave.

i know a slave strobe can fire w/o the cable as well, but I just want my strobe to fire on flash from my camera, and not others.

Thanks

eric

Not too sure probably. Hopefully they are cheap cause we use them to connect to san and emc boxes which are not cheap heh..

Those are fibre optic cable for ethernet connection

can't remember how much i bought last time

but those are longer and more flexible

i also have a short one for MD, quite stiff but too short for his usage.
