For £16.78 ex-VAT, this APC 35ft Cat5e UTP patch cable is the kind of “boring but dependable” lead you buy when you just need it to work. Cat5e is still perfectly fine for typical office patching and most non-high-speed runs inside a data room or work area—think desk patch panels, switch-to-panel, patch-to-wall socket. APC is a solid mainstream brand in the UK channel, and the grey U/UTP finish is practical for keeping things tidy and consistent.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you’re planning any future-proofing beyond normal gigabit-era expectations, or if you’re trying to build long-term structured cabling for higher-performance needs. Also, double-check the length before ordering—“35ft” is one of those sizes that can be awkward if you’re routing neatly in tight racks. If your use case is short patching and you just want good value without overthinking it, it’s a reasonable buy. If you’re doing anything that needs tighter performance assurances or you want cleaner long-term flexibility, it’s worth looking at a higher category or a more appropriate length.
