I couldn't find the ill reviews you were talking about but I note that 
the Olympus FL-CB05 as listed at B&H seems to have fine reviews.

To the best of my knowledge the Canon cable will work with Olympus but 
not the other way around.  The Canon cable has 4 control contacts to 
Oly's 3 but I believe they all line up... but the Canon would be missing 
a contact if on the Oly cable.  The Canon cable is more expensive than 
the Oly cable and is now in its 3rd version and supposedly has been made 
more rugged than version 2.  I have version 2 and have never had any 
problem with it.  Canon version 2 cables can be found on ebay.  There is 
no intelligence in the cables.  They're simply electrical contacts and 
don't care what's being transmitted on the wire between flash and camera.
