Supported Transceiver for E810 Series

[Siggi]

Hi, there is a very good documentation about the supported transceiver for 500 ans 700 series, but I can not find this for the E810 Series. What transceivers are supported for these NIC series? Specially DACs and AOC from specific switch vendors.

Hi, especially I`m looking for information about the E810-XXVDA2 for OCP 3.0, but in general for all cards of the E810 series and be more specific, this are the cablesI want to us:

Cisco DAC (SFP-H25G-CUxM=) and AOC (SFP-25G-AOCxM=)

But in the mentioned post I found a suitable answer:

https://community.intel.com/t5/Ethernet-Products/E810-series-cards-and-compatibility-with-3rd-party-transceivers/m-p/1267339#M24605

"The E810 series of cards are "Open Optic" which means that we don't restrict them to only Intel branded cables and optics. You may use 3rd party modules but it will be on your own validation. However, if you encounter issues during usage, we may have difficulties assisting you as it is a 3rd party product and unvalidated. The best source of support would be the manufacturer of the modules."

If there is no more concrete statement about the cisco cable possible, You can set this to solve. 

Thanks a lot.
