Does the switch have fiber optic ports or Ethernet Electronic ports
Switches come in three types: those with purely Ethernet ports, those with purely optical ports, and those with a combination of both. Optical ports on switches typically accommodate optical modules for transmitting data via fiber optic cables. The principle is that the light enters the light-sparse medium from the light-dense medium, resulting in total reflection. Usually, there are several types such as SC, ST, FC, etc. Each switch comes with different kinds of ports called switch port types, and the most common ones are RJ45 (Ethernet) ports and SFP ports. RJ45 ports use copper cables and are the standard for home. VERSITRON manufactures a wide range of fiber optic switches that provide links for your 10Base, 100Base, 1000Base Gigabit, and 10 Gigabit networks simultaneously. Various port sizes are available ranging from 4 up to 52 ports.

Focusing Optical Cable
Fiber-optic collimators are used to launch the light from an optical fiber into a free space collimated beam with specified beam diameter or spot size. In essence, a simple collimation lens is all that is needed. MID-IR Focusing and Collimating Objectives are designed to use with Infra-Red fiber optic cables and bundles. Using the proper setup, fiber optic collimating lenses or ball lenses, and some optical know-how, you can achieve optimal collimation. How measured fiber parameters help to.
