Does the optical module require silver
Sometimes the optical module is replaced by an electrical interface module that implements either an active or passive electrical connection to the outside world.

Silver plating of communication optical cables
Silver improves radiation efficiency and current flow, helping achieve better signal clarity and strength. Silver is chemically very reactive and quickly reacts with oxygen in the air to form black silver oxide, causing the contacts to fail in no time. Don't designers even have this most basic knowledge of chemistry?" Our preliminary response is as follows: Silver plating is a last resort! But it's also. 31st International Conference on Electrical Contacts - ICEC 2022, Jun 2022, Sapporo, Japan. The materials used especially in RF paths directly affect signal strength, reliability, and long-term performance.
