Mmaaaattteeee this is an incredible idea. This always seemed like the one flaw in VR. It really takes you or if it's when you have to use the joystick to move around

The suggestion was to replace it with copper cable, which I then explained would not work

I have a device that can measure the distance of fibre optics which would work but they're many thousands of dollars (google an OTDR - Optical Time Domain Reflectometer). You can get ones for cat6 called a TDR but that would be imprecise because of the twist rate. Sorry I can't give better advice. Some lower cost PMLS devices can measure distance but only through a loop that returns to the unit.
