QSFP port adapters can be used to support a single 10 Gb SFP+ or 25 Gb SFP28 optical transceiver in a 40Gb QSFP+ or 100Gb QSFP28 port that has been partitioned. A single SFP+ or SFP28 transceiver is inserted into the adapter to provide a single optical interface. The single transceiver is connected to Lane 1 of the partitioned port. Lanes 2, 3, and 4 are unused.
CFP2 port adapters can be used to support a 100 Gb QSFP28 optical transceiver in a 100 Gb CFP2 port.
The following table lists the available QSFP and CFP2 port adapters.
| Description | Port speed | Part number | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| QSFP+ to SFP+ adapter | 40 Gb | QSFP-SFPP-ADPT | Use in partitioned QSFP+ ports to support SFP+ optical transceivers. |
| QSFP28 to SFP28 adapter | 100 Gb | 10506 | Use in partitioned QSFP28 ports to support SFP28 transceivers. |
| CFP2 to QSFP28 adapter | 100 Gb | CFP2-TO-QSFP28-MOD | Use in CFP2 ports to support QSFP28 transceivers |
| CFP2 to QSFP28 adapter | 100 Gb | 100G-ADPT-CFP2-QSFP | Use in CFP2 ports to support QSFP28 transceivers |
