Hi Guys,

Does anybody know if the 'SFP+ Twinax' active or passive cables are compatable with the HP ethernet 10gb 2-port 530sfp+ adapters? I'm struggling to find/confirm if they are compatible or not.

Cheers

I'm also have the same problem finding ANY white papers on conencting HP NC550SFP / NC552SFP / NC523SFP dual port 10Gb adapters into a WS-C4500X-16SFP+ 10Gb switch.

Also having problems finindg out which TwinAx cables (Active or passive) to connect from the same 4500X switch into a EMC VNX5300 10Gbe I/O module.

Anyone deployed this or a similar solution that can shed some light?

Thanks.

I've purchased a SFP-H10GB-CU3M (non-branded) TwinAx cable and have successfully connected from a HP NC552SFP 10Gb 2-port adapter (HP DL360p Gen8) into a 3750X (WS-C3750X-24T-S) 10GB (C3KX-NM-10G) module.

Once I receive my 4500X-16SFP switch, I hope to connect this into 3 dual port 10Gb vSphere hosts as well as my VNX SAN (10Gb SFP).

Finding anyone from EMC or Cisco that will confirm this solution is possible was impossible...so I hope mine will work!

So having worked through all three vendors (Cisco, EMC & HP) I tested the passive Twin-Ax cables SFP-H10GB-CU3M-C(non-branded) from my WS-C4500X directly into a dual port HP NC552 SFP adapter.

These all worked without issue.

Thank you for providing this information mate!
