Cat 9500-24-QA QSFP - 4x10G Breakout cable?

[Rajagopal Sivaramakrishnan]

Can someone please confirm if QSFP-10G breakout cables are supported on 9500-24QA ? I saw the documentation, and it says it is supported on 9500-32YC, but also gives breakout specifications for other switches like 24 QA.

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst9500/hardware/install/b_catalyst_9500_hig/b_catalyst_9500_hig_chapter_01001.html

I want to convert 2 or 3 QSFP ports and connect 8 -12 additional 10G connections. Rest of the ports will be QSFP.

Hi,

Yes, it is supported. Have a look at the matrix and search for C9500-24Q

you should see this:

QSFP-4X10G-LR-S

One thing to note here is that I only see LR in the list and not SR. Not sure if Cisco's doc is incomplete or SR is not supported at all.
