Came across these Mellanox 100Gbps EDR infiniband cables on eBay:
Mellanox 834972-B22 100Gbs Optical cable 5m | eBay
Mellanox 834972-B27 100Gbs Optical cable 20m | eBay
Seller seems to have most cable lengths from 5 up to 20m.. The cables are HP branded (834972-B23) but according to this:
http://www.mellanox.com/related-docs/oem/hpe/RG-Mellanox-and-HPE-reference-guide.pdf
they should be identical to Mellanox MFA1A00 EDR cables.
I don't have EDR cards, but I bought a pair of 3 meter cables (834972-B21) from same seller a while back to test with my FDR and QDR infiniband stuff. Turns out they work fine for FDR and FDR10 with ConnectX-3 cards (both HP branded and regular MCX354A) and an EMC/Mellanox unmanaged SX6015 switch (switch was FDR10).
I was a bit surprised that they also worked at QDR speed with MHQH29 cards. Haven't tested them with Ethernet yet, but I'm going to test my 3m cables on 40GbE with MCX354 this weekend..
