Core routing blades
|
QSFPs installed in core routing blades are used for connecting inter-switch links (ICLs) between
|
SAN256B-6 and SAN512B-6 Directors or between SAN256B-6, SAN512B-6, SAN384B-2, and SAN768B-2
|
|
Directors. Interconnecting these devices increases the number of useable ports for device connections.
Following are types of QSFPs installed in core routing blades:
|
|
v Separate MTP cable and transceiver. The transceiver is inserted into the blade port and the cable plugs
into a QSFP on the other end of the ICL.

Note: If the fiber optic cables are not connected to the transceivers, make sure the rubber sealing
gaskets are plugged into the transceivers.
|
v 2 km 4x16 Gbps QSFP transceiver with integrated MTP cable. The transceiver is inserted into the blade
|
|
port connector and integrated cable plugs into a QSFP on the other end of the ICL, a patch panel, or a
patch cable. Refer to "4x16 Gbps 2 km LWL QSFP" on page 70 for more information.
|
v 2 km 4x32 Gbps QSFP transceiver with LC connectors. The transceiver is inserted into the blade port
|
connector and single-mode optical fiber (SMF) LC cable connects the transceiver to the other end of the
|
ICL or a patch panel.
