Hi.
I have a Mikrotik CRS504-4XQ-IN with one available spare 100Gb QSFP port that I want to use to go to some different eqipment.
Since one of my devices I want to go to is about 50m away, I cannot use a 100Gb to 4x25Gb Direct Attached breakout cable.
Is it possible to use for instance an Intel 100Gb QSFP PSM4 4xLC single mode transceiver module to go to different computers, switches, etc. putting some Optical 1310nm Single mode 25Gb SFP+ transceivers in the "other end"?
I'm planning on using the last available port in the Mikrotik like this:
Mikrotik CRS504-4XQ-IN....................................... Other end
Intel QSFP PSM4 4x25Gb LC \---------------> 1: Optical LC SFP+ 25Gb - Computer 3 in same rack
..................................................\--------------> 2: Optical LC SFP+ 25Gb - Computer 4 in same rack
....................................................\------------> 3: Optical LC SFP+ 10Gb - Switch 50m away
......................................................\----------> 4: Spare
If it's possible to "split" the QSFP PSM4 transceiver like this for different equipment, or is it only meant to combine the 4 "channels" in same equipment again?
Can I also run at individual speeds or do they all need to match, meaning all four at 10Gb in my case?
Thanks.
