In principle, not necessarily in practice. You also need an interface on either end that understands the protocol and can translate the optical signals to electrical ones.
For the most common Ethernet standards, 100 Mbps and Gigabit, there are optical fiber versions of the standards, so the interfaces are available. If you are referring to a protocol other than Ethernet, you need to check for that particular protocol.
On the computer end, you would normally swap the existing network card with an optical version (available for PCI-E and PCI-X slots, meaning most post-2005 desktops and servers).
On the router/switch/hub end you could switch to an optical model.
Standalone adapters are also available.
So I suppose the answer becomes "no, not wherever, but in a quite wide range of cases".

What is the fiber cable?
You may know that fiber optic cabling is important to applications like the internet, telephone systems and cable TV, but have you ever wondered about how it actually works, or why it's so perfect for transmitting data? We at Cablesdotcom thought you might be curious, so read on to find out what exactly goes into making fiber optic cable, and just how much it's capable of. Fiber optic cabling is based on optical fibers, which are long, flexible, hair-width strands of ultra-pure glass. Optical fibers are formed when preform blanks - portions of specially manufactured glass - are heated to between 3000 and 4000 degrees and then drawn out at a rate of up to 66 feet per second. As optical fiber is pulled, it is constantly monitored by a laser micrometer, which ensures that its diameter is perfectly uniform from start to finish. In order for optical fibers to transmit data over long distances, they need to be highly reflective. On their way to being spooled, newly-pulled glass fibers pass through coating cups and ultraviolet ovens, which respectively apply and then cure the thin plastic buffer coating that creates a mirror effect within the fiber. The finished optical fiber is then extensively tested in a wide range of categories, including Tensile Strength, Refractive Index Profile, Fiber Geometry, Attenuation, Bandwidth, Chromatic Dispersion, Operating Temperature, Temperature Dependence of Attenuation, and Ability to Conduct Light Underwater. After testing has proven that the newly-manufactured optical fiber meets all standards, it is sold for use in fiber optic cabling. Depending on what type of application it will be used for and how much data it will need to transmit, fiber optic cable can be built around a single strand of optical fiber, or larger groupings of it. To assemble a complete fiber optic cable, the strand or cluster of optical fiber is placed at the core, to be surrounded by a loose tube of PVC, which leaves the fiber room to bend when being routed around corners and through conduit. In order for the finished cable to transmit data signals, it needs to be connected to the two other main components of a fiber-optic system. The first of these is the optical transmitter, a device which converts electrical and analog signals into either On-Off or Linear modulating light signals, then releases that data into the fiber optic cable. The cable then relays the data emitted by the optical transmitter to the optical receiver, which accepts the light signal and reformat the data into its original form. Fiber optic cabling has advantages over standard copper coaxial cables, in that it can transmit larger quantities of data with far less loss, is able to maintain signals over long distances, carries little risk of corrosion, and is virtually free from interference.

Who was it that twisted his ankle at a Tinie Tempah gig from one direction?
None of them have ever rally twisted their ankle at one of those gigs
What is Fiber Optic Media?
An optical cable is a plastic or fiberglass wire that transmits digital audio from one device to the other.
What is the most awesome book ever?
Twisted by Amity Hope! -J10
The video who's going to save my soul by gnarls barkely is sick and twisted?
your opinion is stupid. it is 1 of the best vid ever, ever
Will there ever be a release for twisted thicket?
Yeah it was released on May 2nd so you can play it now!
What is a multiterabit network?
The explosive demand for bandwidth for data networking applications continues to drive photonics technology toward ever increasing capacity in the backbone fiber network and toward flexible optical networking. Already commercial Tb/s (per fiber) transmission systems have been announced, and it can be expected that in the next several years, we will begin to be limited by the 50 THz transmission bandwidth of silca optical fiber. Efficient bandwidth utilization will be one of the challenges of photonics research. Since the communication will be dominated by data, we can expect the network of the future to consist of multiterabit packet switches to aggregate traffic at the edge of the network and cross connects with wavelength granularity and tens of terabits throughout the core.
Two main types of data transmission media?
Here, we have two types of transmission media: 1. Guided media transmission2.unguided media transmissionin guided media,there are wires or cables, whereas in unguided media,different-different waves are used.1. Guided media transmissiona.) co-axial cablesb.) twisted pair cablesc.) optical fiber cables2.) unguided media transmissiona.) infrared rays transmissionb.) radio transmissionc.) microwave transmissiond.) satellite communication transmission
What is the problem with having too much fiber?
then that would be the best class ever :D
How do you tilt the crane in Twisted Thicket on poptropica?
you use the amulet or what ever, press the big strong monster, & push the crane
How much fiber should a person get ever day?
Most experts suggest that individuals take in about 0.71-1.23 oz (20-35) gs of fiber daily
When will Twisted Metal 4 come out for PS3?
The game is a PlayStation Game from October 31 1999 and it does not seem likely to ever come out in a PS3 format. There is a Twisted Metal scheduled for PS3 release on December 31 2011 according to Gamestop
