New 10 Meter twinax cable

[Zaldy Biala]

According to the updated compatibility matrix, the new 10 Meter twinax SFP-H10GB-ACU10M cable does not show interoperability with the Catalyst 6500 67xx 10 Gig linecards (With CVR-X2-SFP10G converter for X2 ports). The shorter 1-5 meter twinax cables show that they are interoperable.

Does anyone know if this is incorrect and just not yet updated.

Thanks.

I suspect it might have something to do with the CVR-X2-SFP10G, seeing that the converter module data sheet also does not list any length of the Active Twinax cables being compatible.

I am trying to reach out to someone within the Product Mgmt org to see if they can provide an answer... but my contacts are old....

No luck reaching out... anyone on from Cisco TAC that can point us to a product mgr that might have an answer on this compatibility question??
