Hello
Recently ive bought set of two Mellanox ConnectX-2 cards along with 3m cisco twinax cable from one of german ebay sellers and it works ok. Tho i was buying cards mainly for optical transceivers that are going to me from china atm (didnt received them yet). Since i have no experience with sfp+ cards im curious if my cards will work with thoose transceivers (at least in theory). Whats bugging me is that "Lx" adnotation in card description using mlxup command.
Does Lx mean this card can also operate on Long range links but will still work on 10G SR 300m transceivers, or maybe Lx mean it wont work?
Thanks for any help
