The optical ports on the switch are usually paired together, with one TX sender and one RX receiver. The port type of the 100 M bit/s switches is generally SC card square port, and the optical port type of the 1000 M bit/s switch is generally SFP optical module, and. This article introduces two optical ports of industrial Ethernet switches and what is the role of optical ports of the industrial switch. Introduction of Two Optical Ports on an Industrial Ethernet Switch In the process of using an industrial Ethernet switch, we will find the SFP port and Combo. An all-optical Ethernet switch is a network switch whose service ports are entirely optical, meaning every interface uses fiber rather than copper. This design enables end-to-end optical signal transmission, avoiding the conversion between electrical and optical signals at the switch port level.
