I'm about to put some 10Base-FL in and I was

tell me what kind of fiber I should be looking for? Is it 50/125 MMF

GigE? Or is it 62.5/125 MMF like FDDI?
AFAIK, you want 62.5/125 MultiMode... same as FDDI, but typically with
ST ends (bayonet style). The FDDI stuff I've seen has SC ends (square
press and latch fittings).
I have a bit of it (including 50m in my wall connecting the 2nd floor
and basement... just for kicks).
10base-FL is 62.5/125. actually, I'm running fddi on 50/125 with no
problems so it shouldn't matter _that_ much what cores you use for it
(besides singlemode 8.5/125, of course).
regarding fddi, it has all the types, both sc, st and a custom fddi
(also called MIC) connector types.
