I'm searching for the proper DAC cable to connect the SFP+ port of a DEC740 to the SFP+ port of an Aruba Instant On 1930-24G switch. According to the notes in the shop, the SFPP-PCxxx series from sf.com should work. Is it enough to choose the proper cable variant for the switch (https://www.fs.com/de/products/36784.html) or do I need a custom dual mode cable to support both devices? And, if I need a dual mode cable, which manufacturer / model do I have to choose for the DEC740 port?

Ok, just ordered the one from the link. I'll report if it works as expected.

The linked DAC cable works like a charm  :)

What kind of DAC cable compatibility did you choice eventually? Just "Generic"?

You linked a HPE ProCurve DAC compatibility product. I seem to have some issues with my DAC cable: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=43496.msg222128#msg222128
