4. Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the transceiver. Insert the
cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.
NOTE
If your transceiver has an integrated cable attached, you will not install a cable.
When both ends of the cable are inserted and the link is fully established, the LED displays steady green.
NOTE
Cables are keyed so that they can be inserted in only one way. If a cable does not slide in easily, ensure that it is
correctly oriented.
5. Organize cables to avoid covering LEDs and air vents. Refer to Managing cables on page 67 for more information.
Breakout cables
The copper breakout cables are terminated with optical connectors and are available in 1m, 3m, 5m, and 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 9030 Series switch:
Interfaces 0/49 to 0/54 support up to 16 10GbE or up to 16 25GgE ports in breakout mode by using the following optics:
For 4x 10Gbe breakout:
• 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:
• 100G-QSFP-4SFP-P-XXX
