Good Day Servethehome forum members,
I've just purchased two MCX314A-BCCT Dual 40/56GbE cards and now need cables for them.
I already have, in my cart, two Mellanox QSFP+ to SFP+ adapters for backwards compatibility to SFP+ cards I have.
Now, I am on the hunt for QSFP+ cables.. I've seen multiple types and most are listed as infiniband. Is there a difference between the infiniband QSFP+ cables and ethernet? Or is a QSFP+ cable w/ line rated speed a QSFP+ w/ line rated speed? I only need a 3m run and was wondering if the following would suffice for 56GbE speeds on my Nic :
Can experts provide thoughts? I'll be connecting two computers directly via these two cards.
Thanks so much you guys.
