A switch is used to connect the two fiber optic segments
A fiber-optic switch is a device used in fiber optics to route light from one or more input fibers to one or more output fibers. It can act as a simple on/off switch or a complex matrix switch with multiple inputs and outputs, such as 2×2 or even 64×64. Network topology refers to the way in which the links and nodes of a network are arranged in relation to each other. Traditionally, network switches have been connected using copper cables, but with the increasing demand for high-speed and reliable connectivity, fiber optic cables have gained prominence.
