Each network port has LEDs to show connection status and traffic activity, especially on switches and routers. Before you blame the switch or replace the cable, you need to look at the invisible data: the light levels. For network engineers working with fiber optics (SFP, SFP+, QSFP), understanding TX (Transmit) and RX (Receive) signal strength is critical. Switches have LEDs for indicating power status, port status,link status, error indication, troubleshooting and performance monitoring.
