Sure. But if it's working over copper, why? You'd need to install the
fiber, new wall plates, terminated it, Replace the cheap copper NICs in
your computers with optical ones for $$. Then you'd have a gigabit
network over fiber instead of a gigabit network over copper. Sort of
like next day air shipment on a Boeing airplane vs. a Grumman. Either
way, it gets there the next day.
