How long is the fiber optic cable in the kit? I am looking for a fiber optic
cable that is longer than the one in the RoboSports kit. I find joing two of
the latter "cables' together causes too much signal loss. Any suggestions on
where to find a longer cable?

Personally, I don't think that the included
fiber optic cable is any great shakes and that a higher quality
replacement
can be obtained through a scientific supply house or such if you
really need it.

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.
