from Toshiba:
cable		TOCP172
transmitter	TOTX172
receiver	TORX172
other companies do these too, eg Mitsubishi, but I have no part numbers.

The standard is described in ref:
"Fibre optic link for digital audio interface", IEEE Trans Cons. Elect._34_(3)
August 1988.

Sony and Philips make decoding chips.

Cheers,
Steve.
