10G Ethernet IP core from Intel used in a QSFP+ connector.

[DiegoA]

Dear Intel support

As SFP+ connectors are the most popular choice for a 10G Ethernet interface, we are wondering if it's possible to use a QSFP connector (with breakout cables to provide individual SFP+ interfaces) for a “10G Ethernet IP core from Intel” without any modifications inside the FPGA. If any changes are required, we are interested in understanding the extent of these modifications.

Thanks

Yes, QSFP+ can be used as four individual SFP+ interfaces. No changes except for a shared I2C port.
