The full SKU of the original cards was QLE8242-CU-CK (dual port copper). The replacements were the same, but SR instead of CU. Here's a quick link of detail on these cards -- http://www.qlogic.com/Resources/Documents/DataSheets/Adapters/Datasheet_8200_Series_Adapters.pdf . The copper cables/SFPs were Cisco's SFP-H10GB-CU5M and SFP-H10GB-CU3M, which are listed on QLogic's list of approved cables: http://www.qlogic.com/Resources/Documents/LineCards/Copper_Cables_Support_Matrix_Line_Card.pdf . I had a comment regarding the TCO of a Nexus 5548 w/ full SR SFPs vs. copper and yes, this is a significant cost increase, so be aware of that! Hopefully you're not paying retail for them :-), even w/ our discount it was substantial. David. On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 5:38 PM, David Newman <dnewman () networktest com>wrote:
