Just curious: why not use commonly-ebayed MM fiber as commonly used 
in fibre channel and network connections? A few months ago I bought 
sixteen 100m spools, Dell OEM original, brand new, for $10 apiece. 
Fiber GBICs are also dirt cheap if you want a sure-fire connection 
method with built-in LEDs.
