John - Mellanox hides this information in the back of their manuals in my
experience. Best to download.

Just be careful with the 1036 and breaking the 40g ports out to 10g. you can't
break out all the ports, and when you break one out, you sometimes lose another
40g port!

Or does someone know of a 40-10 optical cable?
Yes, and mellanox have them, including the fibre cable itself in short
distances. But it's only multi-mode (40GBASE-SR4 to 4x 10GBASE-SR) so
you're limited to ~100m or so. It uses an MTP connector on the 40G side,
and an LC connector on the 10G side. We use these in our pedestal switches
for MeerKAT.
Thanks. Maybe the 1036 is an option, then. It has way better internal
interconnect bandwidth. I couldn't find them in the mellanox web site.
