Fiber optic Ethernet extenders are made by American Photonics, Inc.;
71 Commerce Drive; Brookfield Center, CT  06805; 800-626-5745 or
203-775-8950/8955.

Their RL6000 series of Ethernet repeaters will connect two segments
of a V2.0 or IEEE 802.3 Ethernet LAN by way of duplex optical fiber
cable up to 1000 meters in length.  Price is around $4K/pair.

I have not used these units, but we are considering their purchase to
link up two Ethernets on campus.  Another department at Pitt has
purchased T1 multiplexers from API and they are satisfied.
