I think this is what you're looking for

B&H also sells an equivalent under the Dot-Line name at a much lower 
price.  There are no product reviews for that one but there are reviews 
for the Dot-Line equivalent for the Canon cord.  Some reviewers are 
perfectly pleased while others complain of connection problems so 
suspect some QC trouble there.  Some also say that Canon's own off-shoe 
cord is a functional replacement for the Oly cord.  Oly uses 3 contacts, 
Canon uses 4 and thus can sub for Oly while Oly can't sub for Canon.  I 
have a Canon shoe cord but no Oly camera to try it on.  Canon's own shoe 
cord is now on version 3 so may benefit from some long customer use and 
feedback into engineering changes.  I only have the original version 1 
which was reputed to suffer from cables being pulled out of their 
sockets by overly energetic photogs.  Mine is fine.  You'd have to be a 
gorilla to break it but I guess some folks are.  So, the Canon version 3 
is good but is costs quite a bit more than the Oly
