My new used SM 24 Bay came with an Intel X-520 DA2 so I'd Like to to 10 gig or faster. From Everything I've read i should be able to do direct connect between my workstation which the the dual 2696V3 and the Server without the need for a 10 gig switch. I was looking at getting a MCX312A-XCBT. What cable would would i need? From what i understand shorter runs can use passive under 5M and Active Over 5m. Would I also need the transcievers?
