We have one Huawei S6700-48-EI switch that supports 48 GE SFP/10GE SFP+ ports, 2 hot-swappable DC power supplies and this switch has fiber cables in ports 48. My question is would this be for redundancy so if one fiber is broken there will still be a connection? If the interface is not enough for my needs, what should I do?

I don't understand the question. Are you saying that you have a fiber cable plugged into port 48? Each fiber cable has 2 fiber strands, one for transmit and one for receive. So you will need both strands in a fiber cable for it to communicate. It won't be redundant with just one fiber cable.
