Good afternoon everyone,
I just found that there are 10 metre long stacking cables available from a 3rd party company. I'd like to ask if Cisco would support stacks built using those cables (provided of course a valid support contract is present).
Regards,
Sergey.

Ask your partner to check with their Cisco account manager, but I can't see why Cisco would ever want to support such a thing. I would be concerned that it will work properly. Just because someone can make one up, doesn't mean they have thoroughly tested it.

Only Cisco, itself, can "officially" answer this question, and Shillings suggestion is a good way to obtain that answer.
However, very, very likely answer will be no. Almost all vendors will not support Brand X in their equipment. If you have a problem with those stack cables, most likely Cisco will ask, does problem occurs with our cables? If answer is no, then Cisco will likely say, problem solved, i.e. use our cables.
Basically, this would be likely similar to using non-Cisco optics modules.
