[LUG] HOW does fibre optic work in terms of connecting computers/IP enabled devices

 

I realise that I do not have a clue how FO operates to connect devices
to it if one was to run a fibre into each room with multiple devices in
the room to connect up to.

Is it one strand per device in a multi stranded cable which needs to be
terminated to a plug or socket?

Or does the cable consist of a fibre or set of fibres that operates as a
"bus" with packet addressing etc. ensuring that appropriate devices are
communicated with discretely?

My ignorance is profound!
