3.5 QSFP28
Two QSFP28 cages are available at the front panel. Both cages are capable of housing either active optical or
passive copper QSFP28 or QSFP compatible components. The communication interface can run at up to
28Gbps per channel. There are eight channels between the two QSFP28 cages (total maximum bandwidth of
224Gbps). These cages are ideally suited for 8x 25G or 2x 100G Ethernet or any other protocol supported by the
Xilinx GTY Transceivers. Please see Xilinx User Guide UG578 for more details on the capabilities of the
transceivers.
Both QSFP28 cages have control signals connected to the FPGA. Their connectivity is detailed in the
Pinout Table
at the end of this document. The notation used in the pin assignments is QSFP0 and QSFP1 with
locations clarified in the diagram below.
Use the QSFP*_SEL_1V8_L in conjunction with the OPTICAL_SCL_1V8 and OPTICAL_SDA_1V8 pins as
detailed in

Note:
The LP_MODE (Low Power Mode) to each QSFP28 cage is tied to ground.
The order options for the ADM-PCIE-9V3 include an option to fit the QSFP28 optical transceivers. The table
below shows the part number for the transceivers fitted with each option.
