HP Poly SHS 2396-02 PTT Unamplified Dual Channel LEMO FGG.1B.308 TAA

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £203.96 ex-VAT, an unamplified “SHS” style LEMO audio lead is one of those products that either quietly saves you headaches—or becomes an expensive patch. If you already have a Poly/HP setup where the microphones sit at a distance and the system expects this exact LEMO FGG.1B.308 style connection, then this is the kind of cable you want to spec once and forget. It’s TAA marked too, which matters if you’re selling into public sector environments in the UK where procurement gets picky.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it just because it “sounds like the right thing.” Unamplified means you’re relying on the rest of the audio chain to do the level/gain work properly—so if you’re trying to extend beyond what the original system expects, or you’re mixing it into a non-Poly/compatible mic arrangement, you may end up with weak audio, noise, or inconsistent behaviour across rooms. This is best for IT teams who know their existing Poly room hardware and need a guaranteed-correct replacement/rollout cable, not for first-time kit builds or “let’s test and see” experiments.

If you tell me what exact Poly endpoint/mic base you’re connecting (model names are enough), I can tell you whether this is likely to be a clean fit or a “nope, wrong level/standard” situation.
