I'm working on building a lightstick that I will trigger using 1 CSRB+. I was planning on using a splitter to go from the CSRB+ to the PC connector on the flashes. Most of the splitters I see are stereo whereas the CSRB+ is a mono cable. Will there be any reliability problems if I use the stereo splitter?

Thanks in advance,
Corey

What flash will you be using? Likely, there won't be an issue, but to give you a better idea, the model flash would be helpful.

here is a link to a Radio Shack 3.5 mono Y splitter:

Also, be sure your flashes have similar sync voltages, as two different voltage flashes can cause damage. (i.e. don't use and old Vivitar 285 and an SB900)

I think I'll use an SB-900 and an SB-800. Thanks for the link and your comment on mixing flashes. I wasn't planning on it, but, could have easily made that mistake.

You should be fine with those two lights. I have used stereo adapters successfully, but cannot guarantee all will work.
