As someone else has already mentioned, it's not the transmission characteristics of fibre that is the problem. Rather it's the interfaces at either end of the fibre, i.e. converting from electrical signal to optical at the sender and from optical to electrical at the receiver. It seems that some implementations can cause higher levels of jitter than others.
