Over here, at least, that Nissin cord is the same price (+/-) as the Canon
original. Thus my post about the Lastolite which is available in Europe for
somewhat less than the originals. But without the second shoe.
I confirm that we have in the past discussed only the Canon cord, not the
Nikon, for use on Olympus.

Maybe. Discussion here in the past has mentioned Olympus DSLR flash units
on Canon cables since the Canon has 5 contacts vs Olympus's three.
I suspect they all line up well enough to work since there's only so much
real estate available to place the contacts.
While double checking my memory by searching B&H for off-camera shoe cords I
discovered a Nissin cord with 5 contacts that looks rather like the Canon
that claims: "Works with Canon, Nikon/Fuji, & Pentax/Samsung Evaluative
Preflash TTL Systems". No mention of Olympus though.

Note that the Nissin places another shoe on top of the camera connector thus
giving you the ability to use two flash units on one cable.
