CRS326-4C+20G+2Q+RM and QSFP+ to SFP+ splitters

Hi,
I’m interested in purchasing the CRS326-4C+20G+2Q+RM switch but would need to use all the 24 2.5g ethernet ports for my network; but still require some equipment connected via 10g.

This switch also has two QSFP+ ports, and I was wondering if it supports the break out cables you can get to convert a single QSFP+ port into 4 SFP+ connections?

My understanding is that the use of these splitter cables requires the switch itself to support using them, but I can’t find any info online about any success or failure from their use.

Does anyone have any ideas whether I’d be able to use one of these with this switch and get 4 independent 10g connections to different devices?

Thanks :slight_smile:

Solved.

This https://www.servethehome.com/mikrotik-crs326-4c20g2qrm-switch-review-2-5gbe-10gbe-and-40gbe-marvell-qualcomm/ review indicates that QSFP+ to SFP+ splitters can be used with this switch.

Looks like I’m ready for a new purchase! :slight_smile:
