2-Port 40-Gigabit Ethernet Modular Port Adapter
The 2-Port 40-Gigabit Ethernet MPA provides two cages for QSFP+ Ethernet optical interface modules
that operate at a rate of 40 Gbps. The two QSFP+ modules can be 40-Gigabit Ethernet multimode or
single mode connections.
Each QSFP+ cage on the 2-Port 40-Gigabit Ethernet MPA has an adjacent A/L LED visible on the front
panel. The A/L LED indicates the status of the associated QSFP+ port.
Figure 2-39
shows an example of the 2-Port 40-Gigabit Ethernet MPA.
