Data Interfaces
The data interfaces use QSFP28 connectors. The full list of interfaces per system is provided in Table
1: Speed and Switching Capabilities. Each QSFP28 port can be connected with a QSFP28 cable or
connector for 25/40/50/56/100GbE, or 1/10/25GbE when connecting through QSFP28 to SFP28
adapters, hybrid or split cables. The systems offer High Power/LR4 transceivers support (up to 3.5W)
in all QSFP28 ports. Some QSFP28 ports support 4.5W transceivers, as detailed in the following table:
