Got Only One Hole for Your Flash Cable?

Got a TG-7 housing and wondering how to hook up your strobes? Don’t panic — the fix is simpler (and a little braver) than you think. Sometimes you just have to cut the cables — literally.


Got a TG-7 housing and wondering how to hook up your strobes? Don’t panic — the fix is simpler (and a little braver) than you think. Sometimes you just have to cut the cables — literally.

You Need an Adapter

The popular Olympus TG-6/7 housing isn’t born ready for fiber optic cables — it needs a little help.
The AOI FCA-01 adapter mounts neatly onto the housing, but here’s the catch: it gives you only one L-type hole for your cable.
That means you’ll need a split cable if you’re running two strobes.

Want More Flexibility?

A split cable works great for dual strobes — but what if you only want to dive with one (say, when you’re snooting)?
That’s where a quick 45° snip comes in. Cut your fiber optic cable at an angle, expose the inner fiber, and it’ll fit perfectly into your adapter for a clean, reliable flash setup.

Single or Double Studs

You can choose between single or double studs that slot into the L-type hole on the adapter.
If your housing has only one port, just use a double stud and plug both cables right into it — compact, sturdy, and ready for any lighting setup.

Ready, Set, Cut!

Once you’ve trimmed, fitted, and plugged in the new connector, your setup is dive-ready — no loose ends, no misfires, just sharp, beautifully lit underwater shots every time.

Sometimes the best upgrade is just a little courage… and a good pair of scissors.
