MPO-4*DLC fiber
When a 40GE port is configured as four 10GE ports, one end connects
of this fiber connects to a 40GE port using a QSFP+ optical module,
and the other end connects to four 10GE ports using SFP+ optical
modules.
Used for connection between a switch and an ODF. The MPO
connector connects to the switch using a QSFP+ optical module, and
the 4*DLC connectors connect to the ODF.
MPO-8*FC fiber
Used for connection between a switch and an ODF. The MPO
connector connects to the switch using a QSFP+ optical module, and
the eight FC connectors connect to the ODF.
