    Well those fiber optic line end points are not exactly encrypted, they use off the shelf components like HDMI over Fiber adapters, and serial over fiber for control link. In rare cases they could maybe use a actual IP connection over fiber but i doubt that since, it would add overhead, latency and make the hardware setup a lot more complex and expensive (if would be able to encrypt tho).

        no, because often its not “internet/network over fiber” stuff but HDMI over fiber no ip there. HDMI cables have very limited lenght due to high frequency beeing used in em, so if you have a media production company and a few spread out cameras HDMI over fiber is kinda common
