Any recommendations for good quality SPDIF optical audio cable? I'm going to have a run of 6m or so which, according to some things I've read, can be pushing it a bit.

Can’t fibre optic runs be as long as you like without picking up external interference, with it being light and that?

They don't get electromagnetic interference, but they do suffer from attenuation and pulse broadening. Toslink is designed to be cheap, robust and easy to connect, so it is limited to a maximum length of 10 metres for polymer fibres.
