> The spools of bend insensitive fibre are pretty cheap...

For the benefit of other folks reading, I'll note that even regular, boring OM4 bends okay. I have mine running along the outside of preexisting molding and baseboards. My runs get down to a 1/4" bend radius in places and it seems to work just fine. Bend-insensitive fiber is definitely useful, but it may not be required for the run one is planning.

Though, one thing that regular OM4 is not is discreet. That two-strand cabling in its aqua-colored jacket is quite distinctive.
