Thanks for posting this. We are planning a similar design, and we've purch=
ased QLogic adapters.
Has anyone tried something like this with an Emulex CNA?

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/Data=
Sheets/Adapters/Datasheet_8200_Series_Adapters.pdf
.
The copper cables/SFPs were Cisco's SFP-H10GB-CU5M and SFP-H10GB-CU3M, whic=
h are listed on QLogic's list of approved cables:

atrix_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 w=
as substantial.
David.
