Functional Degradation for Fiber Optic Cables

The best thing about them is their price and the fact that despite the flaws they are technically functional. Unfortunately, that's where the good ends. You can feel the quality (or lack thereof) as soon as you take it out of the box. They are very fat, want to keep their shape and appear suspiciously fragile. I wonder how they will hold up, especially if you just plug the cable into SFP+ and it basically falls apart. The strain relief sleeve slides freely and the individual connectors are ready to snap at the slightest force. While I understand that you can usually separate the cables, it takes some effort to keep them together. I bought two of the 5 packs and will be returning them both. Do yourself a favor and skip them and pay for quality cables.

Pros
  • Cables and Interconnects
Cons
  • Big and Chunky
