Codenoll's PC adapter cards for ethernet and the Sytek LocalNet presumably use
the fiber in the same way that their ethernet transceivers use the fiber:
simply as a transmission medium with the same bandwidth as the network
technology they replace.  In exchange, you get lower cost than coax for long
(i.e. campus-wide) runs, as well as EMI immunity, etc.
