Old module says "10G_BASE_SX" so that is multimode fiber, which complicates things a bit. You can see about getting a single-mode handoff instead, or you may need the QSFP-SFP+ adapter (or intermediary switch). thanks, -Randy ----- On Jan 8, 2020, at 2:26 PM, Ben Cannon ben@6by7.net wrote:
This is another good way to go, make sure you have a single mode handoff from the IX (you should, but double check this, orange fiber and yellow fiber are very different physically in size and generally not compatible.

I think you're looking for an MTP breakout cable, rather than a QSFP28 breakout.
The MTP breakout requires separate optics, whereas the active breakout can plug directly into a device's SFP+ ports.
Something like...

You'll also need to tell your device to break out it's 40 g into the component 10g channels. Then they'll each get a distinct port number. (Usually just a number appended to the parent port)

which i am swapping out for the delta 9020
so i am look at something such as [ https://www.fs.com/products/30900.html | https://www.fs.com/products/30900.html ] except i do not understand active/passive, AOC1M, etc
thanks in advance
