Re: breakout

[Matt Erculiani <merculiani () gmail com>]

I think you're looking for an MTP breakout cable, rather than a QSFP28
breakout.

The MTP breakout requires separate optics, whereas the active breakout can
plug directly into a device's SFP+ ports.

Something like...

And

You'll also need to tell your device to break out it's 40 g into the
component 10g channels. Then they'll each get a distinct port number.
(Usually just a number appended to the parent port)
