They do not have any cisco labels at all? I ask this because there are 
quite a lot of optics that still bear the label of its manufacturer as 
well as the vendor of the switch equipment who OEMed it.

Also, there are 3rd party cisco coded SFPs out there, I guess the cisco 
CRC algorith leaked or was reverse engineered so others could do cisco 
compatible SFP optics.
