• 36 100-Gigabit QSFP28 interface ports that support 100-, 50-, 40-, 25-, 10- and 1-Gigabit speeds. You

can use the following adapters with these ports:

• CVR-2QSFP28-8SFP which provides eight SFP/SFP+/SFP28 ports for each vertical pair of ports

on the switch. The top four SFP/SFP+/SFP28 ports connect to the upper QSFP28 port of the switch
pair, and the bottom SFP/SFP+/SFP28 ports connect to the lower QSFP28 port.

• CVR-QSFP-SFP10G which provides an SFP/SFP+ port for one QSFP/QSFP28 port on the switch.

These ports also support breakout cables with four 10-Gigabit SFP+ transceivers
(such as the QSFP-4X10G-AOCxM and QSFP-4SFP10G-CUxM cables).
