greater lengths. No additional connectors or cabling are required when using the copper breakout.
When using the fiber breakout cables, additional 10Gb optics are required.
For SLX 9740 switch routers, interfaces 0/49 to 0/56 support up to 8 10GbE or up to 8 25GbE ports in
breakout mode by using the following optics:
For 4x 10GbE breakout cables:
•
4 SFP+ 40GbE-to-10GbE copper breakout cables in 1m, 3m, or 5m or greater lengths
•
