Recommended Generic 10Gb SFP+ fiber modules for Cisco 9300 and Nexus switches

[gasinclair@jabgl.com]

I am replacing my core Dell switches with some Cisco 9300 and Nexus 9300 and need to acquire several 10Gb SFP+ transceiver fiber modules; are there any recommended vender modules (generic)in the market that are not genuine Cisco modules but will work just as fine? I also want to know if there are any generic for 10Gb Twinax (DAC) passive/active that can be recommended.

Please let me know.

Particularly with the 9K, I would not be playing around with a non-Cisco optical module.  If you run into problems and TAC determines that it could, potentially, be caused by the optical module then TAC has grounds to stop all troubleshooting.
