I remember using a fiber driver that wires to a LAN connection for a PC It works great. We had a remote terminal and a hub wired up 1/2 mile away. Go to E-Bay and look in the telecomm section. You might fine what your looking for cheaply.

Options that I have on hand to make the test: 1) A Bright LED with a photo transistor 2) IR emmisor LED and a IR Receiver Ideas are welcome, Regards, Augusto PD: Copper wires are not a good way because there are a High Power RF source very near ( 1 meter ) -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
