NOTE: Ports 49/50 and 50/51 on the S5248F-ON use a single jack that can be configured with either a single density QSFP for 100 Gb connectivity or a double density QSFP for 200 Gb connectivity.
The standard shipping configuration is to have QSFP-DD cables running between the two ToRs for 200 GB connectivity. On the switches, the differences between using the 100 Gb single-density cables and the 200 Gb double-density cables is shown in the following tables.
