Cisco 9400 + Palo Alto 10GE DAC cable interop

Trying to get Cisco 9410 connect with PA-5220 using Palo Alto DAC cables:

PAN-SFP-PLUS-CU-5M SFP+ form factor, 10Gb direct attach twin-ax passive cable with 2 transceiver ends and 5m of cable permanently bonded as an assembly, IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-CR compliant

It's not coming up on Palo end comes up with weird media type on Cisco end

Cisco IOS XE Software, Version 16.11.01 Line card model: C9400-LC-24XS

interface properties Name : Te2/2/0/2

Administrative Speed: 10000

Administrative Duplex: full

Administrative Auto-MDIX: on

Administrative Power Inline: N/A

Operational Speed: 10000

Operational Duplex: full

Operational Auto-MDIX: on

Media Type: 1000BaseCX SFP

Any suggestions? Perhaps there's a hidden command. I've connected Cisco Nexus and servers with 3rd party DACs in the past, it's all passive stuff yet this time around no bueno.
