Figure 3 2.4 Tb 36-Port Universal QSFP28 XMA-s (3.6 Tb Fan-in/Fan-out)
For an assembly that uses QSFP-DD front panel connectors, the hardware capacity 
limit is the type of connector that can be configured and the total bandwidth of the 
connectors. For example, for the initial 7750 SR-s 4.8Tb/s, 36-connector QSFP-DD 
XMA-s, there are four different card levels:
• Up to 100G bandwidth per connector, 300G total connector bandwidth per E4 
chip = 3.6 Tb/s
• Up to 200G bandwidth per connector, 300G total connector bandwidth per E4 
chip = 3.6 Tb/s
• Up to 400G bandwidth per connector, 400G total connector bandwidth per E4 
chip = 4.8 Tb/s
• Up to 400G bandwidth per connector, 1Tb/s total connector bandwidth per E4 
chip = 4.8 Tb/s with aggregation to 12 Tb/s
See Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6 and Figure 7 for connector assignments.
