First, ethernet connection implies galvanic isolation as a standard (if we are talking of real USB ethernet extenders). Otherwise one broken device on the network would be able to destroy other devices on that network. And RJ45 cables are made of copper
Second, there are fiber connections but are mostly used for longer runs and greater speeds than standard 5e (or 6/6a/7) RJ45 cables. And of course fiber optics need different NIC (not standard RJ45 port). Sure, there are USB fiber extenders.
Thanks for the reply, I thought that because of Power Over Ethernet and Copper cable a galvanic isolation wouldn't be possible.
I saw some Fiber Usb extender, that's why I asked for the fiber optic ethernet cable
BTW what do you mean by "real ethernet Usb extender"? The one that goes on LAN only?
