£16.13 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
For £13.57 ex-VAT on a 1m OM4 LC/UPC jumper, this is the sort of “just works” spare you’re glad you bought—assuming you actually need **OM4 multimode** and **LC/UPC** in the first place. The low-loss angle matters in real deployments where you’re trying to keep transceivers happy, and the LSZH jacket is a sensible choice for UK sites where cabling rules and comfort around airflow/safety matter. It’s also a good fit for short patching between patch panels, racks, and active optics (or wherever your runs are essentially measured in metres, not tens of metres).
That said, I wouldn’t buy it blindly. If your gear is **single-mode** or expects **LC/APC**, you’ll be paying for a cable that physically plugs in but performs incorrectly—or at best you’ll create annoying troubleshooting later. Also, at this length you’re basically paying for correct connectorisation and loss performance rather than “cheap fibre”; if you need longer runs, you’ll usually get better value by ordering the right-length cabling and polishing strategy for that route rather than stacking short jumpers. Bottom line: buy it if you’re tightening up a multimode LC/UPC patching setup and want a reliable short jumper; skip it if you’re not 100% sure about OM4 vs OS1/OS2 and UPC vs APC.
