AI-generated summary
For £13.82 ex-VAT for a 1m LC-to-LC OS2 simplex jumper, this is exactly the sort of short, single-purpose patch lead you want in a UK comms spares box. The “bend insensitive” / low-loss angle matters in real deployments where you’ve got tight racks, rear cable management, and you don’t have the luxury of gentle routing. If you’re plugging between a patch panel and an OLT/switch/SFP/SFP+ module over short distances, this is good value: you’re paying for reliability rather than getting tempted by the cheapest unknown-brand fibre that can bite you with higher attenuation or finicky optics alignment.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you need anything other than a straightforward LC-to-LC OS2 simplex patch. 1m is short—fine for rack-to-rack, not fine for patching around a room or between cabinets—and simplex means it’s one fibre, not the typical duplex pair you’ll often expect for “normal” link patching. Also, if you routinely need longer runs or you’re doing a first-time install rather than a quick replacement, you’ll usually be better off selecting a proper long-run cable plan rather than accumulating lots of short jumpers. Overall: buy it for maintenance, swaps, and clean rack patching—skip it if your use case is anything beyond that.
