Andy, I have received quite a few questions about the QSFP breakout panel, so I decided to answer your question plus more detail on list. I wish I had more info for you. I obtained it from a remote hands uninstall I did, and the owner did not care to have me ship it back. It has no markings on it, so I have no clue who made it, or what its model number might be. The main reason I loaned it to MICE was because the new switch had almost the same number of 10G ports that the old Juniper stack had. Since we were out of ports, had to delay new member connections, and needed extras to tie the Arista to the Juniper stack, I utilized QSFPs to get additional 10G ports to tie the switches together, as well as to connect all members that had expressed an interest in upgrading to 100G in the near future. This freed up a bunch of SFP+ ports for immediate use by new members. Since the process began, we have already had 3 QSFP28 100G connections go live freeing up 9 SFP+ ports.

Question on the QSFP breakout panel: WiscNet is evaluating a couple of these, but I have not seen the model that is installed here. What was the source of this panel and do you have a model/manufacturer? Thanks for the info.

I left them full resolution so that you can use them for other things. Since they were so large, I did not want to attach them, so they are at the following links. Special thanks again to Cologix, Anthony, Doug, Richard, and Jay for their assistance with the migration. > > http://www.mnvoip.com/mice/newcab1.jpg > > http://www.mnvoip.com/mice/newcab2.jpg > > http://www.mnvoip.com/mice/newcab3.jpg > > > Jeremy Lumby > Minnesota VoIP > 9217 17th Ave S > Suite 216 > Bloomington, MN 55425 > Main: 612-355-7740 x211 > Direct: 612-392-6814 > EFax: 952-873-7425 > [log in to unmask]
