Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Four gauges in one kit: 10, 14, 16 and 20 wire ribbon
  • ✓ 40ft total (12m) across the set, 10ft per ribbon
  • ✓ 0.05in (1.27mm) pitch mates with standard 2.54mm IDC headers
  • ✓ Rainbow coloring makes tracing and splitting individual lines fast

Cons

  • ✗ IDC connectors are not included, only the bare ribbon
  • ✗ No 26, 34 or 40 wire ribbon for floppy or IDE retro builds
  • ✗ Rainbow jacket looks out of place in period-correct beige builds
  • ✗ Only one 10ft length per gauge, so heavy users burn through a gauge fast
