Compatible SFP+ DAC cables for HP NIC to Cisco Switch

Hi,

We have a DL380 G7 with a NC522SFP network adapter and need to connect this to a Cisco SX350X-24-K9 switch. What is the correct cable to use in this scenario?

TIA

Re: Compatible SFP+ DAC cables for HP NIC to Cisco Switch

Generally speaking there's not going to be a supported or validated cable to do that cross-vendor. For the best compatibility, use transceivers from each company with fiber cable in between. If you'd like to use a DAC, use a passive DAC (and the shortest DAC you can ) supported by the switch for the best odds at a smooth experience.
