That "fiber optic cable" goes with the new USB tower. It's for use with VLL
(Visible Light Link) devices, like the Micro Scout. You stick one end into a
hole in the USB tower, and the other end into a hole in the Micro Scout. So
if you don't have the new USB tower, don't worry about this part. Even if
you have the tower, don't worry too much about it either, because it's not
used with the RCX anyway.
