Hey all!
I've ordered two Mellanox MCX311A-XCAT cards on ebay. They are coming for China, so I'll be practicing that thing called Patience. In the meantime, I need to get some DAC cables. I'm new to DACs so i wanted to make sure I was getting the right ones.
I was thinking of ordering from fs.com. It looks like I can specify which manufacturer I want the ends to be. It also looks like it needs to be the same on both ends. I've read all throughout this thread that my 6450-48P won't care who the connector is set for. Does the Mellanox card care? I can order ends set for Brocade or set for Mellanox. Is either preferred?
I also want to connect my switch to my Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro with a DAC. Should I choose the DAC cable configured for Ubiquiti ends?
Thanks!
