The talk 1G just fine, but even with the most expensive cat6 cables, they won't talk 10GE with the switch. I have several Asus "AREION" cards that talk just fine to said switch.with any of the cat 5e+ or better cables... so the switch itself is fine. For myself, I'm considering getting some SFP for other cards I have around and using those with fiber (or maybe trying copper). Some of those cards are also the IX driver.
