Yes. It was successfully used to connect two HP switches, before I 
received SFP+ SR modules, that allowed me to put the switches into 
distanced rooms.

Yes. The same situation.

Yes, I think there should be one. ;)

Tested both ends. The same situation. :|

There is no error message at the switch side. The switch shows that 
everything is correct.
