I can buy rolls of cat5 cable, but cant find anywhere in nz to buy fibreoptic rolls.

Does anyone here know?

All I can find is places like cablesdirect and pricespy that have fibre patch leads - nothing of a decent length. Kind of annoying when you can get ethernet media converters that say they will go kilometres in length - if only I could find the cable?
