Fiber optic core diameter is 2.5mm, supporting up to 2 meters in length, beneficial for TTL, RC, and Slave flash signal transmission between camera and flash.

Marelux Underwater Fiber Optic Cables
Fiber optic technology for underwater strobes was introduced around the year 2000. Since then, most major manufacturers have relied on standard land-based communication fibers. However, land-use fiber optics are inherently unsuited for underwater photography for two main reasons:
Light Intensity Limitations: Land systems utilize laser beams that are millions of times stronger than the 2-5 watt LEDs used in photography. Consequently, low-quality land fibers often fail to trigger less sensitive underwater strobes. They are also limited to a maximum length of 1.5 meters, severely restricting strobe placement and creative lighting angles.
Fragility: Built to be buried underground or routed inside walls, land fibers are designed to remain stationary for decades. While long-lasting in a static environment, they are incredibly fragile when handled. Underwater photographers frequently suffer from broken cables due to constant movement and transport.
The Marelux Innovation
We took a completely different approach. Marelux developed a specialized, thick, and highly transparent optical core wrapped in a soft, flexible jacket. This design delivers superior light transmission at a lower cost, while making the cable virtually indestructible—no matter how much you twist or tangle it. Furthermore, its exceptional light throughput allows standard flash triggers to fire less sensitive strobes even over a Marelux fiber of 4 meters long..
Marelux fiber optic cables offer unprecedented efficiency and convenience:
Affordable Pricing: Premium performance at a lower cost.
Extreme Durability: Fully kink-resistant and guaranteed not to break.
Extended Reach: Superior light transmission enables custom lengths from 20cm up to 4 meters.
User-Customizable: The innovative screw-locked connectors allow users to easily remove the head, cut the cable to a desired length, polish the end, and reassemble it themselves.
