Product Overview
AI-generated summary
For £18.84 ex‑VAT for a 3m LC‑to‑LC OM5 duplex fibre jumper, this is the kind of “quietly useful” cable you end up needing all the time in comms rooms, patch panels, and for short server/rack runs. OM5 is a sensible choice if you’re in a modern 10/40/100G multi‑rate environment, because it gives you headroom versus older multimode planning. Also, the fact it’s LSZH is a practical win for offices and server rooms where you care about jacket behaviour if things go sideways.
That said, I wouldn’t buy this blindly if you’re trying to match existing optics in a legacy stack. Fibre is one of those areas where the cable type matters as much as the network gear—get OM5 vs OM3/OS2 wrong and you’ll be burning time on “why won’t it light up” troubleshooting. If you’ve already got OM5 optics/links (or you’re standardising on OM5), this is good value for short runs and patching. If your network is predominantly OM3, or you’re not sure what’s already in the patch field, I’d verify the existing fibre/optics standard first rather than assume “multimode is all the same.”
