Hello Jean-Philippe,

Thank you for posting your inquiry on the NVIDIA Networking Community.

Yes, you can insert a 100GbE cable in one port and a 40GbE cable in the other port. Both ports function independently from each other. Just make sure the cables you are using are in the validated/tested list of cables mentioned in the RN of the f/w of the adapter → https://docs.mellanox.com/display/ConnectX5Firmwarev16292002/Firmware+Compatible+Products

Thank you and regards,
