This type of work is suitable for FPGAs, not for microcontrollers. You can buy Ethernet-to-Fiber converters with Gigabit speeds. A simple microcontroller can handle up to 115200 Baud via UART, it's far away from acceptable Ethernet speed.

Your linked modules good for long distance UART but not for Ethernet.
