I work in a transportable building (aka, "a bunch of trailers sandwiched together") that's connected to our main building with 20,000' of single mode fiber pair. I recently purchased a couple of gigabit media converters, connected them up, powered them up, and, bingo, ethernet. I can pump 92 megabits (all my wired connection will allow) through the fibers to a computer in our main building as easily as I can to the other computer in my office in the transportable which has only 15' of CAT 5 to go through.
