The NE10032O contains the following:
 Thirty‐two 100 GbE Quad Small Form Pluggable 28 (QSFP28) ports
QSFP28 ports can be populated with optical QSFP28 modules or Direct‐Attach
Cables (DACs), including those that allow the port to be used as four 10 GbE SFP+
ports. SFP+ ports can be populated with optical or copper transceiver modules or
DACs.
Thirty‐two 100GbE QSFP28 ports are located on the front panel.
For 40 GbE connections, QSFP 28 ports can be used with QSFP+ to QSFP+
direct‐attached copper (DAC) cables or QSFP+ to QSFP+ active optical cables
(AOCs).
For 100 GbE connections, QSFP 28 ports can be used with QSFP28 direct‐attached
copper (DAC) cables or QSFP28 active optical cables (AOCs).
QSFP28 ports can be split into four 10 GbE, 25 GbE, or 40 GbE breakout ports.
Note: The QSFP28 ports cannot be configured in 40 GbE mode if any of the other
ports are configured in 25 GbE or 50 GbE mode.
