I've on rare occasion had to resort to an external copper-to-optical
media converter.  Not pretty, but they do seem to work.  But be careful
about how they manage link state signals.

They keep changing models under me, but the ones I used were similar to
this one.  I kinda like having SFP modules as it let's me pick the short
or long haul optics.
