Ikelite Fibre Optic Converter For DS Strobes (3rd Gen) 4401.3

The Ikelite 4401.3 converts the electrical bulkhead of any Ikelite DS strobe into a fibre optic port. This 3rd generation of the Fibre Optic Converter features a hard anodized aluminium plug connection which reduces weight without sacrificing durability. It is recommended for use with any Ikelite strobe produced September 2018 or later with a hard anodized aluminium bulkhead. Like the 2nd Generation model, this Fibre Optic Converter features heightened sensitivity for use with Sea & Sea or Nauticam housings with internal electrical to optical flash triggering devices. These devices translate the cameras electrical signals into a series of LED flashes which are much less bright than a traditional built in camera flash. The Fibre Optic Converter is also compatible with any system where the cameras built in flash can be seen by a fibre optic cord. The converter simply attaches to the strobes electrical bulkhead in place of a sync cord connector. The enlarged slave window provides approximately 90 degrees field of view for remote triggering. The Fibre Optic Converter automatically configures itself for compatibility with both pre flash and non pre flash camera modes. No setting of small switches or confusion over number of pre flashes. Simply turn on your strobe and take one picture to configure. This adapter is a manual exposure (non TTL) trigger only. The strobes output may be adjusted using the manual power settings built into the strobe (varies by model). An individual Fibre Optic Converter and compatible cord is needed for each strobe. Use of two strobes requires two Fibre Optic Converters. This converter attaches to an Ikelite DS strobe. It is not intended to be attached to a housing and will provide no functionality if attached to an Ikelite bulkhead in a housing.
