Just look carefully at the connectors. ;)

Thanks Graham, This could be what I want, The manual says st or sc connectors, I guess any of the cables will do?

If you get the wrong sort, they won't fit. However big your hammer is.

Come to think of it, I know a guy in Whitby who could do with that new 20gb cable plan... No cable out there.
