Cannot tell you in enough harsh language to avoid fs.com. I've had enough DOA and mis-flashed parts to swear them off forever. Really bad stuff. If you just want regular DAC, go straight to Mellanox (they have an online store) or Amphenol (cables on demand).
If you need to support a lot of vendors and not run up your costs in sparing, use something like the FlexOptix FlexBox.
But, seriously, avoid fs.com.
- snuxoll 10y agoI've had luck buying off marketplace sellers on Amazon as well, but YMM (I've bought a pair of HP 4Gb FC cards for $40, the Mellanox NICS, DAC's, a dirt cheap LSI 9200-8e for $30, the list goes on - most of it's been new in box even).
