Not really. You can get 10G optics for sub-$10 and patch cords for cheap too, so why spend >$50 on DAC cables when you can go fiber and save space and money? Walking into a colo and seeing orange or aqua cables always makes me sad as people overpaid and created themselves a future problem. - Jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared () puck nether net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
