15m SFP+ HP Twinax DAC Active cable

I'm a bit new to the 10g world but I *think* this is a good deal for someone who has a need for such a cable. I haven't seen any other Twinax cables of this length for such a cheap price, especially branded ones.

I ordered one and received it this week. The item I received was brand new, in an unopened original bag, and was indeed a J9287B cable.

Unfortunately this cable doesn't seem to play nice with my Mellanox ConnectX2-EN cards, but I need to do a bit more testing to be sure...

Active SFP+ Twinac cables are mostly for a specific nic / switch from the same vendor.

Thanks for the info, wasn't aware of that!

I did some more testing and this cable does in fact work with the Connectx2-En cards. I have Mellanox branded cards and firmware. I was having a driver problem on Windows.
