They do exist; they're called "media converters" and are more 
expensive than the cheaper hubs.

another advantage over a media converter: you can plug in another 3 
RJ45 workstations or printers.

If you want to use 100Mbps you have to use more expensive network 
interfaces and hubs which support the higher speed.
