Proliant DL Server with Mellanox NIC/DAC/Switch

[Alain_Sanchez]

I have some Proliant DL365 servers with Mellanox NICs (P42044-B21 - Mellanox MCX631102AS-ADAT Ethernet 10/25Gb 2-port SFP28 Adapter for HPE) which I will be connecting to a (Q9E63A - SN2010M 25GbE 18SFP28 4QSFP28 Power to Connector Airflow Half Width Switch).  Both are Mellanox HW. 

My question is: since HP does not list as recommended or compatible any 2m long DAC cable . Can I use this DAC by Mellanox:  MCP2M00-A002E30N? Both analogous parts (NIC and Switch) from Mellanox are compatible with this DAC. Any objection or warning?

Thanks for replying!!!!

Hi 

Please find the below compatible DAC cables from the below link. 

We have not tested any 3rd party cables and I cannot recommend the same.
