I wonder how much 40km of fiber optic cable costs?

Less than a Javelin Missile.
SM fiber is dirt cheap, they don’t need to wrap it in kevlar like you’d find in data centers ironically enough, it’s just a strand or two of thinly jacketed single mode fiber.
Only has to survive the one flight, be light enough and long enough.
