At ~£21 ex-VAT for a 4m OM4 LC–LC patch lead, this is the kind of boring, dependable fibre cable you buy when you want something that “just works” without drama. The LC ends and low-loss OM4 rating make sense for short runs in a comms room—think patching between switches/servers/SFP+ transceivers or across a rack. The push/pull tabs are a genuinely useful touch; they reduce the fiddly struggle with small connectors and help prevent damaged end faces during repeated moves and adds.
I’d recommend this if you’re building/refreshing a rack patching panel setup and you want bend-insensitive performance without paying for boutique cables. It’s also a sensible choice when you’re standardising on OM4 for 100G optics and want cables that won’t be the weak link. That said, if you’re only connecting two devices once and the route is perfectly straight and handled carefully anyway, you may not need the extra “bend insensitive” cost—though at this price it’s probably not even worth worrying about. Don’t buy it if you need longer reaches or runs that involve harsh routing; for anything beyond rack-to-rack patching, you’ll want to think about the broader link design and cable type rather than just grabbing a jumper.
