AI-generated summary
For £22 ex-VAT, this is the kind of fibre jumper you buy when you want something that *just works*—short LC-to-LC OM4 links for patch panels, server racks, and quick interconnects between switches/routers and fibre shelves. The push/pull tabs are genuinely handy in the real world (less fiddling with cramped fingers), and OM4’s “bend insensitive” angle is practical if your routing isn’t perfect—common in racks where cable management is… optimistic. If you’re targeting modern 40/100G optics that use multimode, this cable is a sensible, low-risk way to fill in the last metre(s) without getting pulled into expensive bespoke lengths.
That said, I’d only buy it if your environment is definitely multimode LC and you know your optics support OM4 (a mismatch will waste time fast). Also, at 5m you’re buying a specific length—if you’re not confident about routing, it’s often better to measure twice than to assume you can “make it fit” with a slightly ugly loop. But for a straightforward, standards-aligned patch lead, it’s good value and the ergonomics (those tabs) make it less of a faff than generic fibre jumpers.
