I have not seen a fiber interface, but Philips list several high current I2C
multiplex switches etc. I can get 100metres no problem with a slow clock and
lots of chips hanging off the nodes.

If X10 is limited I may use ethernet cat5 and radio links with a Modtronix
SBC65EC demo  webserver pic-micro card if I can figure how to drive I2C as it
claims it can.
