Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £17.96 ex-VAT, this is a pretty straightforward “get it done” CAT6 patch lead—yellow, 75ft, snagless, with strain relief and individually tested. If you’re running a PoE device that’s not right next to the rack (APs, cameras, a VoIP phone at the far end of a desk run, that sort of thing), the 75ft length is the main reason to buy it, and you’ll appreciate the solid molded ends when you’re routing it through awkward spaces. In a reseller/IT install context, I like that it’s individually tested because it reduces the “random gremlin” factor when something should have worked first time.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this if you’re building a whole permanent cabling solution from scratch. A single patch cable at a specific length is fine for patching and last-mile runs, but if you need multiple runs or longer-term flexibility, it’s usually better value to spec proper structured cabling (and keep patch leads shorter). Also, don’t expect magic: at 75ft, any real-world performance will live or die by the installation path, terminations on both ends, and whether you’ve got a clean, managed network—this cable won’t compensate for a messy setup. Overall: good buy for targeted PoE patching where you need that length and peace of mind from testing; avoid it for broader cabling builds.
