Don't confuse a speed rating with actual performance. Just because a cable isn't rated for 10G doesn't mean it can't perform at that rate. For the most part, the 1.3 rating is just more marketing hype designed to sell you a new set of cables that you don't need.
Well my point was that Market place did not mention the speed capabilities of the cables which should have been mentioned IMO. No arguement from me that it's marketing hype. I own 3 of the $19.95 ones I linked above and they work fine.
