out to 1x40GbE that enables QSFP+ media to be used in those ports. The MX5108n has
one dedicated QSFP+ port and two QSFP28 ports that can be configured for 1x40GbE.
Figures 48 through 50 show an example of QSFP+ Coppers. The Direct Attach Copper
(DAC) is a copper cable with a QSFP+ transceiver on either end. The Multi-fiber Push On
(MPO) cable is a fiber cable that has MPO connectors on either end; these connectors
attach to QSFP+ transceivers. The third variant is an Active Optical Cable (AOC) that is
similar to the DAC with a fixed fiber optic cable in between the attached QSFP+
transceivers.
