Fiber optic cable?
Just look for one that isn't fragile. They all sound the same.

Nahh... same thing, just not the same connector used in fiber optic communications, and the sheathing is generally more robust.

Fiber's fiber.... single mode or multimode, and the type of connector are the only functional differences.
You can get one for a reasonable price from Best Buy.
