Do switches with optical modules also have IP addresses
Yes, switches have IP addresses just like any other device on a network. 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. A switch operates at the data link layer (Layer 2) and forwards data based on MAC addresses. They can function as core, aggregation, and access devices on campus networks and connect to upstream and downstream devices. A passive optical network (PON) or Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) is a point-to-multipoint (P2MP) network that uses a combination of active transmission equipments and passive cable components to provide network connectivity to end user's devices.

Must fiber optic switches be connected with fiber optic cables
Most modern fiber-enabled network switches require an SFP transceiver module featuring a duplex (two strand) multimode OM3 or duplex single mode OS2 connection with LC connectors. Direct attach cables with pre-terminated SFP connections may also be used. This article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how network switches are connected to fiber. If you have multiple Ethernet switches that need to be connected over long distances, fiber is obviously a preferred choice. Moreover, when it comes to bandwidth, no currently available technology is better than single-mode fiber. Fiber provides: Increased internet signal bandwidth.
