Port Panel of ACX7100-32C Routers

The port panel of an ACX7100-32C router has the following port configurations:

• Thirty-two quad small form-factor pluggable (QSFP28) transceivers (ports 0 through 31) that operate at 100-Gbps speed when you use QSFP28 transceivers or at 40-Gbps speed when you use QSFP+ transceivers.

  Note

  You can configure port 31 as a 1-Gigabit SFP grandmaster port by using a QSA adapter to convert the QSFP28 port to a 1-Gigabit SFP port.

• Four double density quad small-form factor pluggable (QSFP56-DD) ports (ports 32 through 35) that are configured as 400GbE ports by default.

  The QSFP56-DD network ports support:

  • QSFP56-DD transceivers

  • QSFP28-DD transceivers

  • QSFP28 transceivers

  • QSFP+ transceivers

  • Active optical cables (AOC)

  • Direct attach copper (DAC) cables
