Yes I am using a LED trigger, and I can see the red light flashing from the camera ports (on land). I did not check if there is red light flashing while diving, evidently by pulling out the optical cables.
I am using Sea&Sea individual optical cables. Can you please elaborate a little on what multi-core cables are?
Thanks for your help!

Example: http://www.divervision.com/howshot-fiber-optic-cable-613l-for-seaandsea-ys-strobes-OFL613-SS.html

They use a bundle of 613 thin fibers instead of a single thick optical fiber - this reduces light transmission losses from cable bends.
