Turns out when one order 0.5m cable it might not actually be a half meter. In this case two cables one from Mellanox the other from FS.com. Obviously someone isn't right here. Apparently one vendor includes the length of the transceiver in their overall length vs just the cable. Anyways, buyer beware as it can make a difference.
Those couple of inches make a difference, especially when doing 16 cables; in this case I resorted to 1M cables.....or should I say "1M"? :)
Amphenol 1M cables are just over 39" tip to tip.
This FS 1M cable is 40" long, just the cable, add another 6" or so for the transceivers.
