Have you had any issues with this cable? If so would you mind describing them?

We discussed it a lot while beta testing. It's one of the reasons we decided to fabricate a board that could mount in place. It wasn't anything we saw in the field for the beta testing but I've seen issues with these .05" pins being flattened while plugging/unplugging these cables. Unlike the .1" pins, once you bend them, they are gone. I've also seen some issues with ribbon cables ripping near the headers from my PC repair days. Granted, your design does take care of those issues.
Don't get me wrong though... the SRXs are MILES... no, lightyears, ahead of the Jaguars. They are amazing products for FRC.
