Will inserting the optical module backwards damage the switch

Do not insert an optical module backwards. If an optical module cannot be completely inserted into an optical port, do not force it into the port. Why it's bad: Human skin carries oil, moisture, and static electricity. Oil and moisture cause oxidation and poor electrical contact, while static. 1) Unused protection: When an optical module is not in use, a dust cap must be installed to prevent dust from entering the port and causing poor contact. 2) Cleaning specification: Use special wiping paper or dust-free cotton swab to wipe the end face in the same direction.
