Hello Is it possible to reform a 40G signal as individual 10G links?The idea is to use a 40G QSFP multimode MTP module such as https://www.fs.com/products/44058.html. Then connect it using a MTP breakout cable such as https://www.fs.com/products/68049.html to get four dual fiber connectors. These are then connected to four 10G SFP+ multimode modules such as https://www.fs.com/products/11589.html. The reformer could be https://www.fs.com/products/43721.html. And finally the reformed signal can be transported using anything including DWDM modules such as https://www.fs.com/products/44058.html.
Just using fs.com as a reference to the kind of equipment I am talking about. Many other vendors offer simelar products.
The motivation for doing this is to get access to the many options that are available for 10G optics but not possible with 40G.
Regards, Baldur
