Morphology

fibered = fiber (semi-transparent) = fiber + ed

Formed from 'fiber' + '-ed' in a regular way, but the sense 'equipped with fiber-optic cable' is specialized telecom jargon and may not be obvious to general learners.

Etymology

Fibered comes from fiber, meaning a thin 'thread', and we call the thin glass cables that carry light 'fiber' or 'fibre'. That's why a fibered building or home is one that has fiber-optic cables for fast internet.
