How many ports does the optical module have
Used for BiDi (Bidirectional) modules where data is sent and received on the same strand using different wavelengths. An optical module is a typically hot-pluggable optical transceiver used in high-bandwidth data communications applications. Think of it as the "translator" for your network equipment, converting electrical signals into optical signals. Both the GBIC module and SFP module are input/output devices used to link the 1000BASE-X fiber optical or copper network by plugging into a Gigabit Ethernet port of network switch or router devices. Switches come in three types: those with purely Ethernet ports, those with purely optical ports, and those with a combination of both.
