You can buy 2 of those cables, cannibalize one by cutting the plug, open the second one and solder the same color wires together. I've done that for Olympus and this work. The timing is good but not too much, better after focusing. You can do it with 2 cable for wireless remote and trigger the cameras from distance also. I've done that also.

Note that Panasonic does not have the same system as Olympus. You cannot just solder the same wires together. The resistors should be modified, as I've already mentioned here:
