The table below will be updated any time prior compatibility issues are resolved or new compatibility issues are discovered. It should be
noted that while most servers are open, compatibility issues can occur with a few CNA server cards (noted below). Additionally some FCoE ports require active copper cables.
Panduit SFP+ 10 Gb/s Active and Passive Cable Assemblies are compatible with any switch or server that
includes MSA compliant SFP+ ports, unless that product requires active cable assemblies or requires a proprietary code in the SFP+ Passive DAC assembly. Referring to the table on page 1, the known switches that will not work with Panduit SFP+ DAC cable assemblies are: Cisco Catalyst Series (These can be enabled through the command line interface (CLI)), HP (Procurve switches), and Brocade (8000 FCoE, VDX6730, and Iron series switches). Panduit can provide a custom cable programmed for the VDX6730, please contact Panduit for details.
