It’s up to Cisco to support HP DAC cables, we only qualify at our end. Most likely they will be appear as 3^rd party on Cisco side.

We do *enable* the following Cisco DAC cables with VC FlexFabric-20/40 F8 module:

QSFP-H40G-CU1M

QSFP-H40G-CU3M

QSFP-H40G-CU5M

QSFP-H40G-CU7M

QSFP-4SFP10G-CU1M

QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M

QSFP-4SFP10G-CU5M
