The switch ports are all optical ports

What Is an All-Optical Ethernet Switch?

An all-optical Ethernet switch provides both optical uplink and downlink ports, and uses optical fibers that feature high transmission speed, large bandwidth, and strong anti-interference

All-Optical Ethernet Switch Explained: Features and Benefits

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

What Are Optical Switches and How Do They Work?

Its primary function is to route data carried by light without converting the signal into an electrical form for processing, defining it as a true “all-optical” switch.

What is Differences Between Switch Optical Ports and Ethernet Ports

Switches come in three types: those with purely Ethernet ports, those with purely optical ports, and those with a combination of both. Port types are limited to two: optical and Ethernet.
