Dear Team,

 

I need your advise if we can connect Cisco Nexus 3K or 9K Switch with QSFP 40G uplink to 4x10G SFP-SR on the Cisco 4506-E Switch ?

 

Please let me know if this is supported ?

 

Regards,

Farhan.

Hello,

 

if you use the Cisco QSFP to Four SFP+ Active Optical Breakout Cables, your setup should work.

Check Figure 4 in the attached document:

Hi Gerog,

 

Thanks for your response.

 

I have two X2-10GB-SR= modules installed in Sup 6E of Cisco 4506-E. I have 2x 4506-E which means I have a total of 2x 10GB transceiver per 4506-E.

Now I need to know if this optical break out cable work with this scenario. QSFP to 10G-SR ?

Hello,

 

which QSFP do you have ? There are various types, e.g. QSFP-40G-CSR4, QSFP-40G-SR4,  The X2-10GB-SR has SC Duplex connectors. You can basically connect anything to anything, with converters or patchleads.

Hi Georg,

 

I am planning to purchase the QSFP. Can you please guide me which will work in this scenario and connect to X2-10GB-SR conveniently ?

 

Regards,

Farhan

Hello,

 

better get with your reseller. You need to look at the things like distance requirements and fiber modes, I cannot make hardware purchase recommendations...
