If you attend Partner training given by Cisco SEs they do have back to back
cables with the Cisco logo. Cisco subcontracts most of their manufacturing.
These particular cables are made by LoDanWest. Many Cisco cables have LDW on
them. If you contact LoDan to order the cables they will provide the exact
same cable except that it is black in color and doesn't have the Cisco logo.
Cisco does not allow them to sell cables with the Cisco logo except to Cisco
itself - who then sells them to us. You can buy similar cables elsewhere for
less money.
