Hi,
I would done a temporary transition from 40Gb/s to 10Gb/s for one link on my home network.
It's because, i have plan to change 2 switches in my home lab but not in the same time (for budget cost distribution).
For a while, i will not have anymore 40 Gb/s connectivity.
I have 4 links to 40 Gb/s but:
Current installation :
Is it possible to downgrade my link to 10Gb/s like this ?
So, questions are:
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Sébastien.
I would done a temporary transition from 40Gb/s to 10Gb/s for one link on my home network.
It's because, i have plan to change 2 switches in my home lab but not in the same time (for budget cost distribution).
For a while, i will not have anymore 40 Gb/s connectivity.
I have 4 links to 40 Gb/s but:
- 3 of theses can be off until i have again 40Gb/s connectivity.
- 1 of theses must remain active.
Current installation :
- My current switch use QSFP port at 40 Gb/s
- My PC is using a Mellanox Connect-X3 at 40Gb/s
- The cable between the switch and the PC is a MTP-12 (Female) to MTP-12 (Femal) OM4 Multimode, 12 Fibers, Type B
Is it possible to downgrade my link to 10Gb/s like this ?
- Keeping the MTP12 cable since it's wired from the office to the basement (where switches are located)
- Keeping the Connect-X3 as is on the PC
- Using a break-out cable but that must break-out an existing MTP12 cable (and not be a full cable)
- Connect only one break-out endpoint to the switch on an SFP+
So, questions are:
- The connect-x 3 will accept to work only on a single fiber and establish a 10Gb/s connection ?
- Is exising breakout cable that can breakout an existing MTP-12 cable ?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Sébastien.
