Hey guys, currently having a bit of a dilemma. About to rent another cabinet from our data center provider. They are trying to charge $500 per run with us providing the cable. Now this seems reasonable since it's a one time payment, however the cabinet that the cables are being ran to is only 4ft away (same row, another client between the two cabinets). The run consists of 3 cables (one for public, one for private, and one for management. The capacity of the first two links would need to be 10gbps, with the management being acceptable at 1gbps. Are there any solutions where we could only run one cable to achieve this? I know there are QSFP+ cables that split into 4 x sfp+ cables, are there any that just bundle 3-4 x sfp+ cables into a single line? Considering how close the cabinet is, even something as short as a 12ft cable is acceptable. I know this seems absolutely ridiculous, but saving $1000 - $1500 would be quite helpful considering how much the budget is being pushed. Thanks!
TLDR: Any cable that bundles together 4 x sfp+ or 10gbps capable cables?
