You will have some equipment at both ends of optic.
So You can make them a little bit more intelligent -
put small host emulator host keuboard side and keyboard emulator

No, it can't!

A PS/2 Keyboard requires a bidirectional link; eg, the CAPS LOCK and NUM LOCK lights are controlled by the Host.
Also, the host sends various initialisation commands at startup.
