Pros: The product fits the modular socket.

Cons: The wire gauge appears to be smaller (thinner) than the original but I did not destroy a cable to measure the wire thickness.

Overall Review: The product is just OK and not the same quality as an original EVGA cable.

Pros: I utilize this board in my infrastructure. This replaced my oldest unit that was a 1540 that had failing Ethernet 10Gig ports. This is the 1541 like the rest on my units used in a VMware cluster environment. The unit received was new, complete and came in a timely fashion. I've been skeptical of third party sellers but this purchase did not disappoint.

Cons: I'm not sure if the board is still in production, but the cost was more than I have paid in the past yet I paid the premium to main consistency in my cluster.

Overall Review: I have five of these base boards in an existing cluster and they perform very well for my environment. The 10Gig Ethernet ports are a must for me being multiple LAN's and iSCSI ports. I do add additional Intel 10Gig ports in the single available slot which really makes these performs well. vCenter and load balancing keeps everything running smooth.
