[casper] SFP+ Cables

[Gary, Dale E.]

Hi All,

I need to order the cables for connecting our ROACH2 SFP+ mezzanine cards
to a 10GBE swtich.  We need only 1 m cables.  I find some rather cheap
"passive copper" cables (e.g.
http://www.cablesondemand.com/pcategory/91/category/SFP%2B+CBL/URvars/Catalog/Library/InfoManage/SFP+_CABLES_%28DIRECT_ATTACH%29.htm?gclid=CMSTkrqNy7gCFYdxQgodhnkAuw),
but will these work, or do I need optical cables with tranceivers on each
end?  Seems overkill for 1 m!  The 10 GBe switch is not yet defined, but I
am looking for surplus Dell 8024F switches recommended by Dan W.

Thanks,
Dale
