£17.30 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
At £14.42 ex-VAT for a 2m LC/UPC to LC/UPC OM4 jumper, this looks like a perfectly sensible “make it work” cable for patching between racks, switches, or patch panels when you’re already on 50/125 OM4 and LC connectors. OM4 with low-loss construction is exactly what you want for short links like this—most people buying at this length aren’t trying to squeeze maximum distance, they’re trying to avoid dodgy fibre fitment and unnecessary signal margin issues. If you’ve got a clean install plan (right sides, correct LC polarity, no fighting bend radii), you’ll likely be happy.
Would I buy it? Yes, if you’re building or maintaining a typical UK data centre/office setup where LC patching is the norm and you need a reliable, short, LSZH jumper without overpaying. I’d be slightly cautious only if you’re using it in a high-throughput “touch every day” environment where lots of trades are yanking cables—then cable management and bend protection matter more than the marketing. Also, double-check your transceivers/gear are actually expecting OM4 and LC/UPC (not APC, not single-mode). If you’re mismatched on connector type or fibre type, no amount of “low insertion loss” will save you.
