I have a X11SPH-nCTPF running a TN12 box. This box has a dual port X722 SFP+ NIC.

When I connect to a Cisco SG350X 10G SFP+ port I get a connection. When I try to connect with a 4:1 split cable (from a MLX SX6036 or now a 2100) I don't get anything). The split cable works happily with the Cisco switch, but not the Intel NIC.

Found another user with the same issue here (Connecting Intel X722 SFP+ to Mellanox SX1012 QSFP via 4-split breakout cable using ubuntu) but no solution.

Probably will open a ticket, but wanted to see if anyone had better luck than I.


Edit:
Hm, more food for thought here:
