🌊 Dive into brilliance with the Ikelite Sync Cord!
The Ikelite 4103.52 Sync Cord is a Y-shaped sync cord designed for digital TTL operation, featuring Ikelite-style plugs on all ends. It allows for seamless connectivity with two DS strobes and includes built-in strain reliefs to enhance durability, making it an essential tool for professional underwater photographers.

Trust the description, not the picture
Important: This is actually a DUAL sync cord (as the product name suggests), meaning it is Y-shaped with one end for the camera housing plus TWO ends for TWO Ikelite strobes. The product image incorrectly shows a different cord that can only connect a single strobe to a camera housing. In other words, if you have an Ikelite housing (with an Ikelite-style strobe connector) plus TWO Ikelite strobes, this is the right cord for you! If you have only one strobe, then you want the thing that is pictured here, not this.(This is the TTL version of the cable, indicated by a small blue band around the camera end of the cord. There is also a non-TTL version for sale elsewhere. If you don't know what TTL means then I would respectfully suggest that this isn't the right product for you. It refers to "Through The Lens" metering, meaning that the flash power automatically adjusts for proper exposure based on the amount of light the camera "sees" through its lens... In order for an Ikelite system to work with TTL, the housing, the sync cord, and the strobe(s) must *all* be TTL-capable.)As for the item itself: this item has only one purpose -- connecting two Ikelite brand TTL strobes to an Ikelite brand underwater camera housing --, and it does that very well. Do note that there's a large ~1" in diameter by 1" long cylindrical plastic block in the middle of the cable where the cord splits. I don't find it to be too much of a problem underwater. (You can see pictures on the manufacturer's website).By the way, in case it's useful to you: I use mine for TTL with one DS-160 and one DS-161 and it works great.

Not as pictured
This Sync cord is the double cord for use with two strobes. The picture is incorrect but the cord is great, exactly what I expected. These cords seem to fail due to age and are reasonably drable but need to be treated delicately or they will develop internal shorts.
