Hmmm.... Cisco isn't the only provider of IB cables. Last I understood, they buy theirs from others. Cisco does appear to be transitioning to *other* technologies. Again, they aren't the only IB provider out there (seems such a shame, gobbling up TopSpin and then effectively discarding them). Qlogic, Voltaire, Mellanox are happy to sell you stuff. You can even call some of the tier2+ players and they will help.
