Default Optical audio connections

Hi,

I'm about to move house and the new property requires a complete
rerwire, so I plan to take the opportunity to install audio and video
cabling.

My questions a

Is there any literature available on fibre for audio? I would like to
gain some understanding of it - light levels both xmit & rx.
I understand that the optical connectors are known as TOS Link -
correct? And are there dongles available to interface between these
fibre connectors and SC/PC or LC connectors?
Are there advantages to be gained in using optical vice coax?
Is Cat5 or Cat6 used in audio? I will be installing structured cabling
for computing - is it worth installing extra runs for audio etc?
