UPDATED REVIEW (March 29, 2020):
After discussions with the manufacturer, and performing additional tests, it was determined that I had received an older version of the cables. They sent me the newer version at no cost. After testing with the new cables, which included a lot of cable movement / adjustments while the RAID arrays were built and running, there were no dropped drives or reliability issues at all. Everything worked perfectly. I'll also add that it was a real pleasure working with the supplier, as they were very professional and friendly throughout the process.
As such, I've changed my review from 2 stars up to 5 stars.
I would do business again with 10Gtek in the future, and recommend them.

(***NOTE: This is the outdated report that does not contain all the information and does not reflect current perspectives. It is only retained for historical purposes.)
I have two LSI MetaRAID 9361-8i cards in a VMware host, each which are linked to an Intel 36x expander card. I have two sets of cables (four cables in all) in order to connect those expander cards to an external chassis.
I first purchased a set of cables from another manufacturer that were twice the cost of these ones. When I came across these cables by 10Gtek and saw the much lower price, and the high user ratings, I thought these would be a great purchase for the second expander card. Both sets of cables have been in operation for a couple months now.
Verdict:
These less expensive cables have dropped connections numerous times, causing arrays to have to be rebuilt. Thankfully we haven't lost any data yet. Any time these cheaper cables are even bumped or moved a few inches in the middle portion of the cable (without touching the connection points), they almost always lose disks in the array, causing degraded arrays, and greater risk to losing data.
By contrast, that has never once happened with the more expensive cables from the other manufacturer: even when moved, those expensive cables consistently maintain their connections to the drives.
