think of it like connecting two SFP+ Active DAC ports

The Christmas and New Year is coming, most of the companies are working on selling their stocked materials. So does Sopto! As told by our management that in order to clear the stocked SFP modules, our management agree to sell our stocked SFP+ Active DAC cable and SFP+, QSFP+ AOC cable in very good price before the end of this year.Unfortunately, Panduit SFP+ Active DAC assemblies may not be compatible with equipment built with non-MSA compliant or non up-to-date ports. Additionally, some equipment vendors may utilize a lock-out mechanism by requiring vendor specific information on the EEPROM located on the SFP+ Active DAC cable assembly connector. This was originally implemented to ensure authorized optical transceivers were used with a particular vendor’s equipment, and now some equipment vendors have implemented similar requirements for SFP+ Active DAC cable assemblies as well. Since SFP+ Active DAC cables are often used between two different vendors equipment, most vendors have removed EEPROM lock-out from their equipment. However, a few vendors maintain this lock-out feature. The goal of this technical reference is to provide guidance for understanding the compatibility of Panduit.
