    Using forward/reverse breakout cables on both sides

    Hi, it should be possible to use SATA to SFF-8088 breakout cables in both server and disk chassis? However, as far as I understand I would need two identical breakout cables to not end up with RX/TX pairs switched? Can anyone please correct me if I'm wrong?

    DAC compatible with Cisco P81E VIC and Ubiquiti US-16-XG

    I ordered some SFP-H10GB-CU3M compatible (supposedly) DACs from fs.com, and although they're nice and thin, and work with my Mellanox Connectx-3 cards in my NAS', they are not compatible with my P81E 10GbE cards in my UCS servers. Can anyone recommend a good DAC in 3-5m distances to connect my...
