If you use a Sunpack potato masher style flash then you need the Sunpak cable 
and the Sunpak dedicated OM module (OT-1D). The module mounts on the camera 
and connects via cable to the flash. There are a few different cables 
depending on the flash  unit.  You cannot use Olympus's own cable with Sunpak 
or other independent flashes, these are all proprietary. The OT-1D was 
available from B&H for about $32 new (list 66). The EXT11 cable for Sunpak 
555 and 622 sells for about $40 (70 list) . The Sunpak OT-1D adapter does not 
work the Sunpak shoe mount flashes to my knowledge. (Somebody else confirm?).
