Let's say you were building 2 Nexus 7700 series with HSRP, VPC and fabricpath. You need a 10g line card for connected firewalls and you use a 40g line card for downstream 5k's. Port density does not dictate buying multiple of either line card so on...

Not to beat it up but I am trying to figure out if I can take 4x10g from the single QSFP-40G-SR4 with an MPO to MPO to another QSFP-40G-SR4 making 4 individual 10 gig links. Then just add 1 10 gig link from the 10 gig module.

I need to keep in 4x10G mode so I can channel them with links from the 10g module so I have module redundancy on the peer link.

Switches would just be 1 row apart and would be direct connected, no patch panel. Could I use a standard MPO to MPO between the two without the fan/break out cable and still put it in 4x10g mode? I would wind up with an MPO to MPO fiber between two...

Would I need to use QSFP-40G-SR4 broken out to 4x10g? Then what would I use on the other side? Can I use another QSFP-40G-SR4 broken out to 4x10g? I assume I cannot use the 40g bidi in a 4x10g situation even if I have bidi on each side?
