Question 110

A network specialist investigates this evidence: An aggregation switch needs a supported high-density multi-lane uplink but technicians insert a single-lane SFP into a QSFP-only cage. Which underlying condition BEST explains the observed failure or requirement?

  1. Connector form factors differ even with compatible optical wavelengths.
  2. Transceiver form factor and lane capabilities are incompatible.
  3. Cable loss or conductor condition prevents stable delivered power.
  4. A short-reach direct attach option can meet the link requirement.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Transceiver form factor and lane capabilities are incompatible. SFP and QSFP cages and lane configurations are not interchangeable by assumption.

A:

Optical transceiver compatibility and receive-light measurements diagnose the physical signal path before higher-layer work. The missing change involves transceiver form factor and lane capabilities are incompatible.

C:

Cable loss or conductor condition prevents stable delivered power. The missing change involves transceiver form factor and lane capabilities are incompatible.

D:

A short-reach direct attach option can meet the link requirement. The missing change involves transceiver form factor and lane capabilities are incompatible.

Question 111

A network team observes: A fiber patch has two LC duplex ports but the ordered patch cord has bulky SC connectors. What is the MOST appropriate corrective action or technical decision?

  1. Select compatible single-mode fiber and long-reach optical modules with correct wavelengths.
  2. Use a manufacturer-supported QSFP module and matching link endpoints.
  3. Replace the patch cord with a properly keyed LC-to-LC cable for these ports.
  4. Select supported twinax direct-attach copper with matching transceiver ends.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Physical connector compatibility is required before any optical signal can pass. Connector form factors differ even with compatible optical wavelengths.
