Title: RE: [ukha_d] SoundBlaster Live Optical Add-On - Anyone know of one ?

Tried with some telecoms optical optical fibre patches - as you say had to mangle the connectors then couldn't get a stable connection, but yes as Phil says with good quality you can go considerable further than the domestic stuff - some of the kit we make can run over 60Kms.

I might - just might have some old long glass optical-fibre connections at
work..... will have a look. Might need to mangle the connector a bit (take
of the bayonet bit), but they might fit. watch this space.

It can but not with the cheap shitty fibre and emitters/detectors that
are used in domestic kit.
