Hi experts,
I have a customer who is having some issues with 5m passive HP twinax cables, 537965-001, with a Chelsio 10G NIC. Aside from NIC driver issue, if NX-OS recognizes this SFP+, should it be expected to work in a 5020 running 4.2(1)N1(1)? Does anyone know whether Cisco has certified passive HP twinax cables? I have included output to 'transceiver details' to a Cisco twinax and the HP (WL GORE) cables. Thanks.
