Which do you want?

2nd – These do not include power cords, Do you need power cords?  Typically those are just reused, but I want you to specify.

3rd – These stack with 25Gig SFP28 cables, Do you need any stacking cables?  If so how many?

                (Note: these can stack with 10Gig twinax cables)

Answer:

  1. Thanks for letting me know. We would want the -E2. 
  2. We have plenty of power cords, so we shouldn't need any. 
  3. We have the 10Gig twinax cables, so we should be good there.
