Only 2.5G is an oddball. (I guess consumers are scared of fiber or too lazy to pull it) 40G QSFP is just 4 lanes of 10G and can usually be broken out into separate ports Same for 100G QSFP28 (4 lanes of 25G SFP28) You see this all the time with interfaces. Like with PICe bifurcation. Or how 56G infiniband is 4 lanes of 14G tho you can’t split it, etc
