QSFP+ to SFP+ Adapter
Support
The RUCKUS ICX 7550 supports a
third-party QSFP+ to SFP+ adapter for cost-effective connections between 40 GbE
QSFP+ ports and 10 GbE hardware using standard SFP+ optical cabling rather than
breakout cables.
An SFP+ transceiver (SR, LR, or USR) inserted in the QSFP+ to SFP+ adapter behaves
as
if it is connected to the first of the four breakout ports on the 40 GbE QSFP+
interface with no other ports available in the breakout. The 4x10 GbE breakout mode
must be configured on the QSFP+ interface.
Note: RUCKUS has not qualified a QSFP28
to SFP28 adapter.
10G-SFPP-TX-A Transceiver
Support
The 10G-SFPP-TX-A transceiver consumes
significantly more power than typical 10G transceivers. This section provides
guidelines for deploying the 10G-SFPP-TX-A transceiver within the power capabilities
of the supported ICX 7550 switches.
If the guidelines in this section are not followed, there is a risk of system
instability and/or reboot.
Follow the guidelines provided in the following table to avoid a power violation.
For each 10G-SFPP-TX-A transceiver installed, another SFP+ slot MUST be left empty.
For example, if you are using four 10G-SFPP-TX-A transceivers, you must leave four
SFP+ ports empty.
