A Breakout Cable is a fiber or copper assembly that splits one high-speed port into several lower-speed links, for example fanning a 400G switch port into four 100G server connections. It lets operators use fewer, denser switch ports efficiently and is a staple of top-of-rack wiring where a single trunk feeds many hosts.
