minus-squareadmin@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·9 months agoYeah they would need a breakout cable. And there’s no way in hell they can have a link of 40G via SFP+ to a 10G appliance.
minus-squaretjhart85@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up5·9 months agoAgreed that they can’t get a 40G link when attaching to a 10G device, but the 40G QSFP can be split into 4 10G SFP+ connections instead
minus-squareadmin@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9 months agoAlso for whoever is curious, there’s 100G QSFP28 which has breakdown cables to 4x 25G SFP28, I’m not a networks guy but I think at that point it’s not Ethernet anymore but InfiniBand.
