Attaching cables to the patch panels
You can use three types of patch panels to connect FC16-64 port blades to other devices.
• MTP to MTP patch panels (requires MTP-MTP QSFP cables)
• MTP to LC patch panels (requires MTP-MTP QSFP cables and LC-LC cables)
• LC to LC patch panels (requires MTP-LC QSFP breakout cables and LC-LC cables
The following section describes the procedure for LC-LC patch panel with MTP-LC breakout/split
cables connected to the FC16-64 port blade:
To connect the cables to the patch panels, complete the following steps. You should have one 72-port
LC-LC patch panel for each FC16-64 port blade. Eight ports in each patch panel will not be used.
Remember to keep all the ports properly documented and labeled. Because the patch panel tray
slides out for access, be sure to leave enough slack in the cabling to accommodate this movement.
