Fiber over Ethernet is governed by a specification that is part of the International Committee for Information technology Standards T11 FC-BB-5 standard. Typically, fiber over Ethernet is used in data centers mainly because it allows for a significant reduction in cabling. 

The usage of a single interface when it comes to cable transport makes it possible for clients to enjoy: Lower costs when it comes to cooling and power; Reduction in the number of equipment such as adapters, data center switches, cables and so on and; A simpler management of storage and IP networks.
