Hah, coming from the phone industry I find the audio industries disdain for Toslink somewhat bizarre. Even 15 years ago glass fiber had no appreciable attenuation until you started to get into distances approaching miles and more. You'd almost have to really _try_ to screw things up to make a plastic fiber that couldn't do 50 feet. I suspect the Toslink recommendations to stay under 15 meters have more to do with worrying about people kinking fibers or something strange, they certainly can't have much to do with signal attenuation.
