From reading the cosmic coir page it seems that Coco Peat is simply hydrated coir ready to go in a bag.

Here's what they say about their coco husk croutons "chips", which probably are the coco fiber referenced on the second site:

Coconut husk hold moisture up to 7 times is weight, is durable and is a stable carbon source. Coir husk chips are produced by cutting dry coconut husks in to small cube shaped pieces. Coir husk chips can added to coir peat to increase the air porosity and water holding capacity. It also has excellent drainage and natrient holding capacity and its fungi resistant. Coir husk chips are proven as excellent medium for growing plants like orchids and in hydroponics, soil less medium growing, mulch and ground covering etc. Coco husk’s characteristics like excellent drainage and nutrient-holding capacity helps the healthy growth of plants. These absorb up to 10 times their weight in water and retain moisture.
