Hi,
I am wondering if I buy a QSFP+ to SFP+ Breakout cable, like one of these:
40G QSFP+ Cables, QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ Breakout Copper Cables
Do I need to plug in all 4 SFP+ cables or can I just use one or as many as I like?
I am asking since I have a QSFP+ switch (Mellanox) - and a Netgear switch I would like to connect together, but my Netgear switch only have two SFP+ ports - so I would only be able to use at most two of the four SFP+ connectors.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
