Dirt Cheap QSFP+ FDR Mellanox Optical Cables MC220731V-010 ($34 per)

[PnoT]

BO of $375 accepted.

I could get these sub $100 over a year ago but haven't seen anything pop up in a really long time. They are 30' cables but at $34 per who cares

Lot of 10 + 1 spare = 11 total.

Lot Of 10 - Mellanox Fiber Optic Network Cable MC220731V-010

I'm new to network stuff. Are these good for QSFP, FDR, 40gGigE & 10GigE?

I have QSFP & 40GigE NICs.

Is all that is needed is the right transceivers to suit QSFP, FDR, 40gGigE & 10GigE?

Many thanks in advance .
Cheers

If these are anything like the awesome IBM cables deal from a few years back (30meters for $30, should've bought 'em all!) they natively run slightly above 40Gbps nominal rate, so QDR and 40Gbe are good, FDR nope, FDR10 yes? (mellanox 'hack')
