The biggest benefit of this approach is in performance. Fiber optics don't suffer from the same signal degradation that the adapters for other wires do, so if you buy a kit that promises 1Gbps, that's the speed you'll get. There's no dice roll based on the quality of your existing wiring, other electronic uses or random architectural quirks in your home. These cables are very thin, so they don't have the same disruptive presence as typical ethernet wires would be running along your baseboards. You can lay them out without causing a tripping hazard or busting open your walls.
