The cable release depends on the cameras used.  For electically released
cameras two cables from the manufacturer can be spliced together.  For
mechnically released cameras Reel 3-D sells a twin cable release.  This
is listed in a *supplement* to their current Catalog #18:

TWIN CABLE RELEASE for two mechanical-type shutter release cameras, up
to 20" separation, #8404, $49.95 (0.3 lb.)

At the same supplement we also find:

TWIN CAMERA BAR, holds two cameras, 16" long, weighs 10 oz., black
finished aluminum, protective friction pad, may be tripod mounted or
hand held.  No. #8405, $53.95 (1.7 lbs.)

I am using electrically connected cameras in a twin camera bar that
I bought from Reel 3-D 5 or 6 years ago and I am happy with it!
