We haven't had any problems with plugging FDR stuff into and EDR switch.  It does downgrade the connections but still works.

Heya,

I do very much the same QSFP28-EDR 100G adapter cards into QSFP+-FDR 56G just with the use of a cable. I even QSFP+-FDR to 4x SFP+-10G using various brocade, mellanox, chelsio hardware and have never come out worse.

Some cables can be a bit funny but I have never had issues with cables branded by NetApp, DELL, CISCO or purchasing coded variants from suppliers. However FS.com are a valued cable supplier for anything that I might think could be a bit fickle.

Allot of the time it is cable compatibility and rarely the adapters themselves.

Hope this help you out buddy :)
Kind regards,
Darren Wise

    has anyone plugged a mellanox fdr card into a mellanox edr switch?  i
    need to connect a server that doesn't have a x16 port so no edr card,
    but i do have an fdr card that's x8.  i don't need the speed just the
    connection, but i've not tried this before.  a quick google says it
    should work, but i'm loathe to until i hear someone else has.
