Looking at maybe buying some Emulex OCe14000-series CNAs that come with optics. Does anyone know if these will also work with passive DACs? The manual lists certain variants working with transceivers and others working with Active DACs / Passive DACs / Active Optical Cables.

Does anyone have experience with these cards? Will my random assortment of Passive DACs work with cards that specify transceivers?

Dont have OCE14000 series but used many of the OCE10100 and OCE11101 series. Both 10 & 11 series can handle passive 3M DACS and SFP+
