seeking small qty plastic fibre optic lead

Hi, I need about 3 metres only of plastic FO lead. Used to be able to buy
from RS, optical conductor plastic, about 0.5mm IIRC, with a black plastic
sheath. RS prices and likely min quantities are out of the question for this
one, even if they still have it. Can anyone suggest a source for the small
amount I need? TIA
 
Bruce,
I was under the impression Jaycar stocked some as part of an
"experimenter's kit".. Perhaps you should check them.

We buy 1mm plastic fiber optic cable with a black plastic jacket
(HFBR-RUS500) direct from Agilent.

It's got an OD = 2.2mm.

This is the stuff used in amplifier / home theater RX optical
connections.

Here's the data sheet:

Will it do?

If so, I can send you some for free (just Bruce - not everyone -
sorry), as their MOQ is 100m I think.

I have a bit left over from a previous project and 3m is not even
worth worrying about the postage.

Email me if interested: tom(at)pwrcom.com.au
