Ha.

I had a customer with HP VirtualConnect Flex-10 and Cisco Nexus 5000,
who couldn't use a Cisco cable (DAC) because the VC wouldn't accept it
and couldn't use a HP cable because the N5K wouldn't accept it. So ...
'service unsupported' to the rescue.

So, I don't see how HP is better when it comes to pluggables. Au
contraire.

PS: And now Cisco even officially support some HP DACs.
