Thanks! Are there any differences or disadvantages compared to a "real" SFP+ port? (apart from the breakout cable that is) Regards, v Am 2016-03-17 um 13:15 schrieb Bill Blackford: I haven't done this with an EX4600, but it is most likely the same. You need a 40G optic and an MTP breakout cab

I haven't done this with an EX4600, but it is most likely the same. You need a 40G optic and an MTP breakout cable that plugs into the optic and splits out into 8 strands of LC or SC or whatever flavor you need. Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 17, 2016, at 03:40, v wrote: > > Hello, > > I am i

We’ve seen varying quality of the MPO breakout cables where some lanes/channels are 2dB or more weaker based on vendor when connected to the QSFP-40G-PLR4 style optics. - Jared > On Mar 18, 2016, at 11:02 AM, Jay Hanke wrote: > > IIRC, The link budget isn't as strong as a 10 km Single mode. >

[j-nsp] EX4600: Splitting up one QSFP+ port into four SFP+ ports?

Hello, I am interested in buying an EX4600 and curious about the QSFP+ ports. My question is the following: Can the QSFP+ ports really be split up into four fully featured SFP+ ports? Are there any caveats or disadvantagas to this approach? I'm asking because the EX4600 costs just as much as t
