Intel® Ethernet QSFP+ Optics offer customers an efficient way to move to 40GbE for high bandwidth application requirements such as content distribution, high-end virtualization using multiple CPUs, network appliances, and Applications Delivery Controllers (ACD). When used with the Intel® Ethernet Network Adapter XL710, these optics support either 40GbE or 4x10GbE mode for four 10GBASE-SR or 10GBASE-LR optical interfaces.
To ensure maximum flexibility, Intel supports the ability to use either Intel® Ethernet QSFP+ Optics or direct attach twinaxial cables. This helps customers create the configuration that best meets the needs of their data center environment, while ensuring compatibility between adapter and accessories.
