Experience with off-brand SAS cables?
-
Does anyone have experience using off-brand external SAS cables like the one below?
https://www.amazon.com/CableCreation-External-26pin-SFF-8088-Cable/dp/B013G4F3A8I mean we usually wouldn't look for a HPE or Dell branded CAT6 cable. Is this any different?

We've used a lot of AXIOM "equivalent" cables over the years in both SAS and Network settings. We've not had any issues with them.

Thanks, that was what I kind of suspected!

I think our external SAS cables came from monoprice or Cables 2 Go, both generic brands. No issues, and they are actually pretty well made.

Monoprice makes no sense up here due to exchange and duties.
We use C2G for network cables and some drive connectivity cables. We've used SuperMicro for their adaptive style cables for SATA and SAS as they are relatively inexpensive compared to any others out there and available in the distribution channel.
