£24.25 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
At £20.21 ex‑VAT for a 5 m Dell-branded fibre patch lead, this is the sort of “small part that prevents big headaches” purchase. If you’re wiring up an InfiniBand or fibre-based rack setup and you just need a short, reliable jumper from one LC port to another, it’s a reasonable value—especially in a UK environment where you’d rather replace a suspect cable than spend hours chasing flaky link issues. Dell doing the branding usually also makes it easier for procurement and support to stay aligned when you’re working in an installed Dell ecosystem.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it casually. If you don’t already know you’re matching the exact interface type and connectors (LC in this case) and you’re not using it for the right InfiniBand/fibre role, you can waste money on something that physically fits but doesn’t behave as expected in your topology. Also, for short runs like this, quality matters, but you can sometimes do better on cost with non-branded equivalents—so only go Dell-branded if you truly benefit from the reassurance/support angle or you’re operating in a tightly specified environment.
