Data Interfaces
The data interfaces use QSFP28/56/DD connectors. The full list of interfaces per system is provided in Speed and Switching Capabilities.
As detailed in the following table, for additional data interfaces, each QSFP28/56/DD port can be connected with a QSFP28/56/DD cable or connector through NVIDIA QSFP28/56/DD to SFP (Dynamix QSA™) adapters, hybrid, or split cables*.

*In the SN4600, SN4700 and SN4280-X systems, when interconnecting switch-to-switch and switch-to-NIC in 50GbE, 100GbE, 200GbE, and 400GbE-based PAM4 speeds, the supported length of PAM4 passive copper and breakout cables is up to 2.5m.
The systems offer several high-power ports for optical transceivers that require such support. The following table specifies each system's ports max power capabilities:
Model Family | Ports | Maximum High Power Support |
SN4280-X | 1-28 | 12W |
SN4600 | All ports | 5W |
49-50, 53-54, 57-58, 61-62 | 6.5W | |
SN4600C | 1-48 | 3.5W |
49-64 | 5W | |
SN4700 | All ports | 12W |
