Yes, in this case the [?] on the left would be a FOT (fiber optic transceiver
such as a Cabletron FOT)  and on the right side, you would install something
like a Cabletron COFOT (coaxial to fiber optic extended media adapter)  You
connect the fiber and your thin coax to  the cofot.


	Router connected to another router located in another building

We do this as well.  Your '[?]'s would be fiber optic transceivers (FOT's)
