4497 & InfiniBand cables

Hi all,

There are 2 month lead times on the NI 1m 4x InfiniBand-InfiniBand cables at the moment.

Can anyone tell me if I can use any other InfiniBand cables instead?

For instance, any of these?

Does anyone know by chance if the NI 4x InfiniBand-InfiniBand cables are standard? I.E. Can any 4x InfiniBand-InfiniBand cables be used instead, as long as the pin outs are the same? Is there something special about these cables that necessitate their use?

Thanks in advance.
