Quick question folks, I am trying to purchase brocade transceivers and multimode cables for my home lab but have confusion over the different models of transceivers.
I have a 6450p 48port and trying to buy some kit to enable SFP on my computers.
I have already bought this from reading up in this thread.
2 Mellanox MCX311A-XCAT CX311A ConnectX-3 EN Network Card 10GbE + cable SFP | eBay
I plan to use one care on my main rig and the other on a NAS that i created. It only comes with 1 cable and a set of tranceivers and they look to be 10GB so all good there. However I now need another cable and set of transceivers to connect the switch to my NAS and looking around for sets.
Is this ok?
Brocade 58-1000027-01 10Gb 3M SFP to SFP Active FCoE Cable 4052777114608 | eBay
P/N: 58-1000027-01
I looked this up on google and saw that this "could" be for ethernet and not fibre channel, but I cant say for sure.
Any help is much appreciated.
ALso, I am trying to get brocade stuff as it show more data in the switches as this thread has said a number of times.
I just need to ensure I am buying the correct kit for my setup.
