StarTech.com 5m Fiber Optic Cable - Multimode Duplex 62.5/125 LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord - LC/LC

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £14.56 ex-VAT, this is the kind of basic fibre “just to get it working” jumper you buy when you’ve got a small patching job and you know multimode + LC-to-LC is what your gear expects. The LSZH jacket is a sensible choice for offices and comms rooms where you’d rather not run anything nasty if something ever went wrong. In day-to-day use, a 5m multimode LC jumper is exactly what you’ll be glad you stocked when you’re connecting patch panels, switches, or media converters without faffing around.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it blindly. The main reason people waste money on fibre jumpers is mismatched connector types or using multimode when their environment is singlemode (or vice versa). If your network is singlemode, or if you need different termination (SC, etc.), this won’t be the right fit—at which point you’d be better spending a little time confirming before ordering. If your infrastructure truly is multimode LC and you just need a short, reliable patch lead, it’s good value. If not, skip it and get the correct standard rather than trying to “make it work.”
