Do you mean 25 feet of the cheap plastic extruded stuff,
or 25 feet of proper optical fiber? I don't think the cheap
plastic extruded stuff is defined for use longer than 1m
or so, is it?

Actually, the cheap plastic stuff (which actually has fiber in it,
unless there's something different in the world now) is rated for 10
meters. The real glass fiber stuff doesn't use the TOSLink connectors.
There are adapters with drivers such as the system that Hosa sells
that can run a couple of hundred feet and there are audiophoole
TOSLink cables that put glass fiber into connectors that fit TOSLink
jacks, but the connector is really a big part of the problem.
