Carl,
Assuming the fiberline cable and connections for the DeltaVPlus and the 
MAT253 are the same (they look to be) the following is what I've ordered 
through Thermo for one of our 253s where I wanted greater reach on the 
cable.  I should be receiving these items this week, so I don't have a 
success story to tell as of yet.


2052590   LIGHT-PIPE, fibre line PC-->MS, 6 Meter            $174.07
2045730   Opto coupler gray                                  $5.15
2045740   Opto coupler blue                                   $5.15
