DAC cable compatibility
Hi,
I'm planning to connect couple of Lenovo servers to M4300-12x12F switch using SFP+ and Lenovo DAC-cable. Are these Lenovo DAC-cables compatible with M4300-12x12F switch?

Hi,
That will be no problem. Of course, we prefer the NETGEAR DAC cables but we know that Servers NICs are often "locked" by the server manufacturer in order to only accept server manufacturer DAC cables. That's why we are making our best to support third-party DAC cables on our M4300 switches, as long as they are MSA-compliant, which will be the case here.
I hope this helps,
Regards
