What vendor to use for 10G Base T cables?

This is a X-Post from /r/sysadmin as I wasn't sure where to post it.

We having two new 48 port 10G Base T switches (Cisco Nexus 31108TC) that are going to be stacked in a data center with about 80/96 of the ports being used.

Right now, we have 1G stacked switches and are running a mixture of random cat 5 and cat 6 cables.

For cabling the new switches we are going to buy all new cables and was thinking of using the following cables Monoprice SlimRun Cat6A

Are the monoprice cables good enough for use in a data center that runs production? The nice thing about their site is that it is easy to order different lengths of premade cables with various color options.

If anyone has any experience or recommendations on cables that would be appreciated.
