"100BASE-FC" doesn't seem to exist. Best I can tell it's a 100BASE-FX adapter with a FC connector.

Routers are used to connect two different networks. Switches are used to connect multiple segments of the same network. Routers work at a slightly higher level in the OSI model than switches, which lets them inspect packets more deeply and route them appropriately.
