Can be used in QSFP+ ports for SFP+ transceivers or in QSFP28 ports for SFP28 transceivers.
The Extreme Networks 10506 QSFP28 to SFP28 Adapter is a network adapter designed to facilitate transceiver compatibility within existing network infrastructure. This module allows for the use of SFP28 transceivers in QSFP28 ports, or SFP+ transceivers in QSFP+ ports. It addresses scenarios where network administrators need to integrate different transceiver form factors without replacing entire switch modules or line cards. This adapter is suitable for IT environments that require flexible port utilization and wish to leverage existing SFP+ or SFP28 optics in higher-density QSFP+/QSFP28 slots. It provides a practical solution for managing transceiver inventory and optimizing hardware investments by extending the utility of various transceivers across compatible Extreme Networks equipment. The adapter functions by converting the physical interface, enabling the insertion of smaller form-factor transceivers into larger ports.
