No, I haven't. I thought I could go find one quickly at Quantum and
thought I had. But it only turned out to be for a larger, NiMH battery
supply fitted through the battery compartment. No high voltage, no
rapid recharge. Then I thought I could find Quantum cables for some of
the latest Olympus compatible Metz flash units. I could only find a
cable for the most expensive Metz unit, the 64-AF1. But the cable only
fits the Metz high voltage supply and is not Quantum compatible. Again,
Quantum doesn't make one.
It would appear there have been a big upheaval in the high voltage
battery pack business since I last bought my own Quantum compatible
packs about 6 or 7 years ago.
It looks like you have to build your own.

Have you actually seen an Olympus HV cable for sale, Chuck?
Many of the battery packs claim compatibility with FL50 (and otger brands) but
offer cables only fir Canon and Nikon. Same goes for Quantum - the CO5 cable is
long gone.
I did, however, see tge Olympus SHV1 kit for sale at a claimed 58% discount to
list price the other day. $700 or so. Only two left. Buy now while stocks last
etc etc.

The reason that Quantum has no high voltage cable for the FL-600R is
that the FL-6000R has no provision for high voltage input. You can buy
a high voltage battery pack which uses Lithium batteries on ebay for
about $115 plus a high voltage cable for the FL-50.

Hmmm. I just looked at Quantum's website - they have cables for
T-32's
and FL-50's, but nothing for the FL-600R. But I guess when I'm
traveling
with the 600r, I'd want to go light anyway.
