Hello Stefan !
850nm is visible too! It by far not that bright than "visible" light is,
but nevertheless, still visible.
850nm is the typical wavelength used for MultiMode Fiber Connections.
On a 50-62.5 Multimode-Fiber it usually can travel for up to one
kilometer (850m is the nominal distance).
The wavelength I am usually dealing with is 1310 or 1550nm (SDH and WDM
equipment).
So maybe you'll give the 850nm a try. I don't know if these components
are cheaper than the 600nm but visibility is not the problem.
Cheers
