Cable Specifications for Control Plane Connections for the QFX Series
The QFX3100 Director device and QFX3500 Node device support using RJ-45 patch
cables to interconnect the QFabric system control plane. The RJ-45 patch cables connect
to 1000BASE-T ports on the network modules in the QFX3100 Director device and the
management board in the QFX3500 Node device. This topic describes the requirements
for those cables.
lists the specifications for the cables that connect the QFX3100
Director device and QFX3500 Node device to the QFabric system control plane.
