If by fiber, you mean fiber optic, digital optical cables (Toslink) can be substantially different in how they behave regardless of length. Just because a specific long Toslink cable sounds better than a particular short length Toslink cable does not mean functional length makes a vital difference in terms of essential SQ.
"I'm using 1 m for my coax, since a long one with quality would be very expensive, although, depending on the DAC a long cheap RCA may be better than a short good cable."
That depends of what you mean by "cheap" and "good". Inexpensive cables with mediocre designs won't tend to sound better than more expensive cables with superior designs, regardless of length.
