£23.11 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
For £19.28 ex-VAT, this looks like a sensible “just works” DisplayPort lead—especially if you’re trying to avoid finicky third-party cables. The 5m length is where things can get hit-and-miss with cheaper options, so having a reputable brand and proper DP 1.2/VESA certification is the kind of boring reassurance that matters in an office setup. If you’ve got a monitor on a desk run-out, a docking station, or a typical meeting-room AV install, the latching connectors are a genuine quality-of-life feature: fewer accidental disconnects when people move monitors or tidy cables.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you’re expecting miracles in high-spec multi-monitor edge cases over long runs—cable performance can still vary with the rest of your signal chain (dock quality, GPU, monitor settings). If you only need a short run (like under 2m), you’ll almost certainly get the same outcome with a cheaper cable. But for a 5m DP extension/backbone cable from a known reseller-friendly brand, it’s good value and low-risk.
