Port
Description
From software version 5.5, GigaVUE TA Series-TA40 supports 4x10G breakout at port
level. Port breakout mode in GigaVUE TA Series-TA40 is configured as follows:
• 24 out of the 32 ports provide 4x10Gb breakout support. The first 12 ports and
the last 12 ports provide support for breakout functionality (with 96 sub-ports
operating as 10Gb ports:)
Ports q1 to q12 and q21 to q32 support breakout functionality
Ports q13 to q20 do not support breakout functionality
• After breakout, sub-ports (breakout ports) are named as q1x1….q1x4,
q2x1...q2x4 (similar to other hardware platforms) to support the breakout
functionality.
Transceivers
For details about the supported transceivers and cable type, refer to the
“GigaVUE-
OS Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix”.
Air Flow Direction
The air flow direction is from the front of the GigaVUE TA Series-TA40 chassis to the rear.
The rear-mounted fans pull air from the front to the back of the chassis. Install the
chassis so the intake air at the front of the chassis is cold.

The GigaVUE TA Series-TA100 provides thirty-two ports, supporting high-density
aggregation. Depending on the transceiver, QSFP+ or QSFP28, the ports run at speeds of
either 40Gb or 100Gb. With QSFP+ transceivers, a 40Gb port can be broken out into four
10Gb ports, called 4x10G mode.
