DELL 470-AAYQ InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m LC Multicolour

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £28.74 ex-VAT on a 3m Dell-branded InfiniBand/fibre optic LC cable, this is the kind of “small part that keeps networks from being annoying” purchase. It’s most worth it if you’ve got a lab, a server room patching situation, or a short cross-connect where you don’t want to gamble on compatibility or connector quality. In practice, short runs like this matter less for distance and more for reliability and fit—LC is a sensible, widely used connector style, and Dell’s own part branding tends to make life easier when you’re troubleshooting or raising a ticket.

I wouldn’t buy it if you’re trying to do large-scale cabling builds, or if you’re not already committed to Dell/InfiniBand gear—generic fibre can be cheaper, and the value drops when you need multiple lengths. Also, make sure you actually need InfiniBand/fibre specifically (not just “fibre” in general) and confirm the link type and optics expectations for your equipment; fibre mismatches are the classic way these purchases turn into returns. If that checks out and you just need a short, dependable LC lead, it’s a fair price—if not, there are better-value options elsewhere.
