Installing AT-QSFPCU Cables in QSFP+ Slots
This section contains instructions on how to install AT-QSFPCU Cables in
the four QSFP+ slots in the AT-XEM2-4QS Line Card. You can use the
cables in place of fiber optic cables and transceivers for 40GbE links of up
to 1 or 3 meters. The model names of the cables are listed here:
AT-QSFP1CU - 1 meter
AT-QSFP3CU - 3 meters
Please review “Guidelines to Handling SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+
Transceivers” on page 119 before performing this procedure.
To install AT-QSFPCU Cables, perform the following procedure:
