The 12 x 100G QSFP100 line card provides high density 100G using industry standard QSFP100 optics. The QSFP100 form factor is identical to the size of the 40G QSFP+ allowing for either 40GbE or 100GbE optics to be installed, for a dual speed choice of 40/100GbE on all ports. With 12 ports of 100GbE the card allows each port to operate in a choice of 4 x 10GbE (using 40GbE optics), 40GbE, or 100GbE.
