Looking at potentially replacing DAC's w/ 10G SR transceivers on switch/nics. Switch is Juniper EX3300. I have found these to work perfect on that end connected to a mellanox ConnectX-2 10G port (came w/ a 10G SR 850nm optic).

All my other 10G nic adapters are Intel X520-DA2, will this transceiver/optic work, FS rep confirms it does, just wanna be sure as I could not find a Intel SFP+ SR optics directly unless I am just blind, ebay searches show Intel PN E10GSFPSR FTLX8571D3BCV-I3 as the optic.

Onto the cabling question, I know both OM3/4 cabling can push 10G, I have an OM3 cable between EX330 and MLX adapter now, probably should just go all 1M OM4 runs (same matching pretty color haha).
I am lost here though, I 'think' I want LC to CL connection right? What the hell is the differnnce between PVC(OFNR) and LSZH or will they both work, just trying to find a good/economical OM4 1M 10G patch cable that is future proofed potentially for 40G, maybe 40GbE is only delivered in a QSFP form factor though have not researched this. Overall idea is to either get optics for existing switch/nics or just switch and get those fancy MLX QSFP to 10G SFP+ adapters and come off of MLX3 cards IF I replace my Intel X520-da2's. Simplex/duplex wtf :-D

TIA for all tips/toughts/pointing me in the right direction, whitey
EDIT: Sorry all think I found the answer to at least one of my questions, found this, looks like the FS knockoff to me for the intel X520-da2 optic/transceiver. Wonder why FS rep told me the Cisco one would work, hell maybe it does as well, always heard the Intel 10G nics we're b|tchy abt optics so playing it safe.
