Splitting Options
Connector Numbering in a Belly-to-Belly Configuration
The SN5600 systems are using OSFP cages, which are able of working in speeds of 800G,
2x400G or 4x200G, as well as 8x100G when using a split fiber.
The OSFP based optcial transceivers have two distinctive ports that can be used as OSFP
transceivers inserted to the switch in a “Belly-to-Belly" configuration, meaning that the
transceiver on the top will be "right-side-up“, and the transceiver below it will be "right-
side-down".

Warning
The following diagram shows the systems' ports non-blocking
splitting capability to two and four ports each. In addition, each of the
ports can be split to 8, while disabling the adjacent port. I.e - when
splitting port no. 1, port no. 2 will be blocked, when splitting port no.
6, port no. 5 will be blocked, etc.
