Paramount Sync Cords makes bi-pole to PC-connector cords. If your flash units have a U.S.-style household connector, as many studio strobes do, you can also use a shaver cord.

The correct name for this type of sync connection is "Bi-Post". Bi-Post sync cords are made by Paramount and should be available at larger internet and mail order suppply houses, such as Calumet, B&H, Adorama, Freestyle, etc. You used to be able to get various ends on the "other" end of the bipost so you could plug it into a variety of sync-cord extension cables. An electric shaver cord is also a good alternative, as mentioned above.

Would be neat if there was a bi-post to PC adapter straight PLUG ONLY that I'd then keep attached... I keep loosing the darn cables.....

Im sure paramount can make it - they do all sorts of weird jobs
