or
c1x1..c1x4,c2x1..c2x4,c3x1..c3x4, ...
GigaVUE TA Series-TA100 includes 32 100Gb ports (c1..c32). These ports
also support 40Gb speeds.
Any of the 100Gb ports on the GigaVUE TA Series-TA100 can operate at
40Gb with a QSFP+ transceiver. With a QSFP+ transceiver, a port can be
broken out into 4 10Gb ports, called subports. The subports will all have
the same speed (10Gb). Subports will have x1 to x4 appended to their
port ID, for example, 1/1/c2x1. For details, refer to
Once a 40Gb port has been configured to operate as four 10Gb ports,
cable it to an optical patch panel or breakout panel, such as PNL-M341,
which takes a 40Gb QSFP+ input from the GigaVUE TA Series-TA100 and
splits it to four independent 10Gb output ports. Refer to
.
The ports accept 40Gb QSFP+ connections using QSFP+ SR or PLR4
transceivers.
The ports accept 40Gb BiDi transceivers (RX-only or full duplex). RX-
only BiDi only supports RX on network ports. Full Duplex (RX/TX)
supports network and tool ports.
Transceivers
For details about the supported transceivers and cable type, refer to the
“GigaVUE-OS Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix”.
