Product Overview
AI-generated summary
For £15.55 ex-VAT for a 5m LC–LC OM4 Uniboot jumper, this is the sort of cable I’d actually keep in a reseller’s top drawer: short, sensible length, proper LC termini, and OM4 tends to play nicely in real data-centre optics where people care about reach and performance without getting exotic. If you’re patching between switches/routers and patch panels, or replacing worn patch leads, it’s good value and the “uniboot” style is genuinely more convenient in crowded racks—less faffing with separate boots and typically quicker, cleaner pulls.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it blindly. OM4 only makes sense if your transceivers and plant are designed around the OM4 multimode ecosystem; if you’re in any singlemode (OS2) environment, this will just be the wrong tool. Also, at 5m you’re unlikely to solve anything beyond short patching—if you’re trying to bridge longer runs, you’ll end up paying for multiple jumpers or rework. Overall: a solid, everyday jumper cable for businesses that already know they’re on OM4 multimode and want a dependable, low-hassle replacement without drama.
