Can a switch with all optical ports accept an optical-to-electrical converter
The answer is yes, however, there are prerequisite requirements to Etherchannel (read this: Understanding EtherChannels). 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. Port types are limited to two: optical and Ethernet.

The switch only has optical ports
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. The dilemma here is to find out if these are ethernet connections & if they are fibre, are their any SFP's connected on the port. However, if I use two media converters (for testing. Ethernet switch port types define the performance, scalability, and architecture of modern networks. RJ45 ports serve access-layer copper connections; SFP/SFP+ ports enable flexible 1G/10G uplinks; SFP28 delivers 25G for modern data centers; QSFP+ and QSFP28 support high-density 40G/100G spine–leaf.

Destination of two optical ports on a fiber optic switch
2X2 Fiber Optical Switch connects optical channels by redirecting an incoming optical signal into a selected output fiber. The 2X2 Opto-Mechanical Optical Switches consists of 2 input and 2 output fiber ports that selectively transmits, redirects, or blocks optical power in a fiber. Switch optical port intercommunication means that the optical fiber ports of two switches are connected to each other to achieve the purpose of network connection. The connection between two or more Ethernet switches in a certain way (Uplink port, etc. Well, I. Fiber-optic switches control light paths within fiber optics, ranging from simple on/off types to complex matrix configurations like 64×64.
