Breakout cables

The copper breakout cables are terminated with optical connectors and are available in 1m, 3m, 5m, or 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 the SLX 9250-32C switch, interfaces 0/1 to 0/32 support up to 128 10GbE or up to 128 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.
• 40G-QSFP-SR4-INT (with fiber breakout cables and additional 10GbE optics).
• 40G-QSFP-ESR4 (with fiber breakout cables and additional 10GbE optics).

For 4x 25GbE breakout cables:

• 100G-QSFP-4SFP-P-XXX
