Installation Instructions

Note:
The Avaya VSP 4000 does not support 40 Gbps QSFP+ transceivers because the VSP 4000
devices do not have any QSFP+ ports. However, the VSP 4000 series supports the four SFP+
10-gigabit ends of the Direct Attach Breakout Cable (BOC) assembly.
The following table identifies the part numbers for specific cable assembly lengths.

QSFP+ to QSFP+ 40–gigabit direct attach cable specifications
The QSFP+ to QSFP+ 40–gigabit Direct Attach Cable (DAC) assembly directly connects two QSFP
+ ports. For more information, see the IEEE 802.3ba 40GBASE-CR4 cable assembly specification
standard.
