Ten metres of provider lead, and four bullets that publish no grade

Speedoptic 10 m simplex single-mode LC/APC to LC/APC, sold on provider compatibility

The lead for a run that has to cross a flat rather than a cupboard, and the thinnest specification on this shelf: connectors, a length and a list of providers, with the glass itself left entirely undescribed.

Fibre type
Single-mode — stated in the title as a simplex single-mode FTTH lead. No core and cladding dimension is published on the listing, and no bullet returns to the subject
Fibre grade
Not published on the listing — no OS1 or OS2 designation appears in the title or in any of the four bullets, and no G.65x standard is named. The first bullet offers compatibility with named providers in its place
Connector types at each end
LC/APC at both ends — stated in the title and described in the second bullet as high-quality LC/APC connectors credited with a stable connection at low signal loss
Simplex or duplex
Simplex — stated in the title. One strand, one connector at each end
Polarity arrangement
Not published on the listing, and a simplex lead has no pair to cross
Length
10 m — stated in the title. It is the second longest lead on this shelf, behind a 30 m one
Jacket rating
Not published on the listing — no LSZH, no PVC and no fire-performance claim appears anywhere. The fourth bullet says instead that the cable is made from high-grade materials and built to withstand daily use over a long service life
Polish type
APC — carried by the LC/APC designation in the title and in the second bullet. No angle, no insertion loss and no return loss figure is published
Armouring
Not published on the listing — the fourth bullet claims robustness and durability without naming a protective layer, a strength member or a jacket construction

On the listing

A 10 m simplex single-mode fibre patch cable for FTTH, with LC/APC connectors at both ends, sold on compatibility with providers named as Deutsche Telekom, Deutsche Glasfaser, Vodafone and 1&1 and with routers such as the FRITZ!Box; connectors described as high-quality, giving a stable connection with low signal loss; a plug-and-play design credited with a quick and simple installation; and a cable said to be made from high-grade materials, built to withstand daily use and to have a long service life. The first bullet carries a stray word in the middle of its compatibility sentence.

Ten metres with no grade behind them

Length is what this lead is for, and length is most of what it publishes.

Four of the seven leads on this shelf are one metre or two — they exist to cross the gap between a wall socket and a box sitting under it. This one is ten, which is a different job: through a doorway, along a skirting board, into another room.

And that is precisely where the missing grade starts to matter, because a longer run bends more, passes more furniture, and gets stood on more often. The grade is the line that would say how tight a loop the glass tolerates. It is not on the page in any form.

What four bullets leave out

Six of the seven leads here name a grade. Three name a G.65x fibre standard. Four print an insertion loss and a return loss. Two give a minimum bend radius. Two give an operating temperature. Five name a jacket rating.

This listing does none of those things.

What it does instead is answer the question its buyer arrived with — will it work with my provider and my router — and then describe the product in adjectives: high-quality, robust, durable, long-lasting. That is a marketing register rather than a specification, and it is worth naming as such rather than reading the missing figures in from what leads like this usually carry.

The connectors, which are the part that is stated

LC/APC at both ends. That much is unambiguous, stated in the title and again in the second bullet, and for most buyers of a provider lead it is the deciding fact.

An angled face needs an angled socket, and the two are distinguished by colour rather than by shape. Get that pairing right and a 10 m lead of unknown grade will very probably carry a domestic fibre service without complaint. Get it wrong and no specification on any page would have saved it.

A listing translated in a hurry

The first bullet contains a stray word in the middle of its compatibility sentence — a country adjective dropped into a line about German providers, belonging to no clause around it.

It changes nothing technical and it is not held against the cable. It is worth noticing for what it says about the page: this is a listing assembled quickly, and the missing specification lines are of a piece with it rather than a deliberate silence about something awkward.

Before ordering

Confirm both sockets are APC, since that is the one thing this page states clearly and the one thing that cannot be worked around. Measure the run properly before choosing between this and the 30 m lead further along. And if you want a grade, a jacket rating or a loss figure on the paperwork, one of the six leads beside this one will give it to you.

    Fibre type
    Multimode, fibre type 50/125 µ — stated in the title and in the first bullet, which calls it a multimode duplex
    Fibre grade
    OM4 — stated in the title and in the first bullet, which says the OM4 fibre offers higher transmission rates than OM1, OM2 and OM3, names compatibility with OM3, OM5 and short-wave division multiplexing, and gives wavelengths of 850 nm and 1300 nm
    Connector types at each end

    Simplex or duplex
    Duplex — stated in the title, with five leads to a pack

    Jacket rating
    LSZH — stated in the third bullet, which says the outer sheath of the lead is made of halogen-free material and has flame-retardant behaviour in a fire

  • Elfcam long simplex fibre patch cable with green LC/APC connectors at both ends

    Elfcam 30 m simplex OS2 LC/APC to LC/APC, 9/125 µm, 7.5 mm bend radius

    The longest lead in this hub by a wide margin, published with a bend radius and a bend-tolerant fibre conformity — and with two of its own descriptions at odds, on the jacket colour and on the jacket material.

    Fibre type
    Single-mode, 9/125 µm — stated in the title and in the first bullet, which describes the lead as running between a fibre termination point and an ONT
    Fibre grade
    OS2 — stated in the first and fourth bullets, with conformity to G.657.A2 and B2 named in the first and a minimum bend radius of 7.5 mm given immediately beside it
    Connector types at each end
    LC/APC at both ends — stated in the title and in the first bullet, and the fourth adds that every lead is supplied with dust caps

    Polarity arrangement
    Not published on the listing, and a simplex lead has no pair to cross
    Length
    30 m — stated in the title twice over. The fifth bullet gives the range the lead is sold in, from 0.5 m to 100 m
    Jacket rating
    LSZH — stated in the first bullet. The third then describes the outer sheath as a halogen-free, flame-retardant copolymer and names an inner sheath of PVC, which is the only mention of PVC on the page and sits awkwardly beside the LSZH claim
    Polish type
    APC — carried by the LC/APC designation at both ends. No angle, no insertion loss and no return loss figure is published; the fourth bullet says instead that leads are individually packed and supplied with a measurement report
    Armouring
    Not published on the listing — the third bullet names a filled loose tube and non-metallic strength members, which is a construction rather than an armour, and describes the lead as an indoor cable for laying inside buildings

  • DIGITUS grey 10-inch six-unit wall network cabinet with a glass door

    DIGITUS 10-inch 6U wall cabinet, 330 × 312 × 300 mm, lockable glass door

    The smallest cabinet in this hub and the only 10-inch one, sized for a flat or a small office where a full rack would be absurd, with an earthing bolt and cable entries top and bottom.

    Rack units
    Six — stated in the title, alongside the outer dimensions of 330 × 312 × 300 mm in height, width and depth
    Mounting width
    10-inch — stated in the title and in the first bullet, and given as 254 mm in the fifth, which lists the DIGITUS components available in that format: patch panels, LAN and PoE switches, socket strips, cable management and shelves
    Usable internal depth
    Not published on the listing — the title gives an outer depth of 300 mm and no bullet gives a rail-to-rail figure. The fourth says the rails can be fitted in three different positions, which changes the usable depth without stating any of the three values
    Wall or floor mounting
    Wall — the first bullet calls it a 10-inch wall enclosure for structured IT cabling, suited to a home or a small office environment
    Rail arrangement
    Profile rails adjustable to three different positions — stated in the fourth bullet. The number of rails and whether they are square-hole or threaded is not published on the listing
    Door type
    Lockable glass — stated in the second bullet, which gives visual inspection of a router, a NAS or a switch as the reason for the glazing and protection from unauthorised access as the reason for the lock
    Ventilation
    Not published on the listing — no vents, no louvres and no fan aperture is named anywhere. The door is glass, which is the arrangement that moves the least air, and the third bullet describes the cable entries without mentioning airflow
    Stated load rating
    Not published on the listing — no static load figure appears. The fourth bullet names a steel housing and an earthing bolt, and gives no weight the cabinet will carry
    Cable entries
    In the floor and the roof — stated in the third bullet, which says power and network cable can be brought into the mini rack from below as well as from above
    Lock type
    Not published on the listing — the door is described as lockable in the second bullet and no lock pattern, key type or barrel is named

  • Extralink black 19-inch nine-unit network cabinet with a lockable door and a shelf

    EXTRALINK 19-inch 9U cabinet, 400 mm deep, 340 mm of equipment depth stated, 60 kg load

    The cabinet that answers the question its neighbours dodge: it publishes not just its own 400 mm depth but the 340 mm of equipment that will go inside it, and ships a shelf in the same box.

    Rack units
    Nine — stated in the title, alongside a depth of 400 mm
    Mounting width
    19-inch — stated in the title and repeated in the first and third bullets, which call it a 19-inch rack and a 19-inch network cabinet
    Usable internal depth
    Given as an equipment depth rather than a rail measurement: the third bullet says the cabinet takes the commonest network devices up to a depth of 340 mm, naming switches, servers, patch panels and CCTV recorders. The cabinet itself is 400 mm deep, so the 60 mm difference is stated by implication rather than as a rail-to-rail figure
    Wall or floor mounting
    Either — the fifth bullet says it can be hung on a wall or stood free, and calls that complete flexibility regardless of the size and layout of the room
    Rail arrangement
    Not published on the listing — no number of rails, no depth adjustment and no hole pattern is named. The first bullet says the full mounting hardware is included and the assembly takes about fifteen minutes with no specialist knowledge
    Door type
    Lockable, with a 180-degree opening stated in the title. The second bullet gives protection of the equipment as the reason for the lock. The door material is not published on the listing
    Ventilation
    Ventilation slots — named in the fourth bullet together with cable entries, credited with optimal cooling of the equipment and a tidier cable arrangement. No fan aperture and no vent dimension is given
    Stated load rating
    60 kg — stated in the title as the carrying capacity
    Cable entries
    Named in the fourth bullet as cable feed-throughs alongside the ventilation slots, credited with an aesthetically pleasing cable arrangement. Their number, position and whether they carry brush strips is not published on the listing
    Lock type
    Not published on the listing — the door is described as lockable in the second bullet and no lock pattern, key type or barrel is named

    DSIT 19-inch 9U wall cabinet, 600 × 450 × 500 mm outside, 500 × 350 × 400 mm inside

    The dearest cabinet in this hub and the only one that answers the question the whole shelf turns on: it publishes an internal depth of 350 mm beside an external one of 450 mm, in the same bullet.

    Rack units
    Nine — stated in the title and in the first bullet, which calls it a solid 9U 19-inch wall-mounted network cabinet
    Mounting width
    19-inch — stated in the title and in the first and second bullets, the latter naming four adjustable 19-inch mounting rails
    Usable internal depth
    350 mm — the fifth bullet gives the internal dimensions as 500 × 350 × 400 mm in width, depth and height, against outer dimensions of 600 × 450 × 500 mm. It is the only listing on this shelf that publishes an internal figure for all three axes
    Wall or floor mounting
    Wall — stated in the title and in the first bullet, which includes a drilling template in the delivery
    Rail arrangement
    Four flexibly adjustable 19-inch mounting rails — stated in the second bullet. It is the only cabinet on this shelf to publish a rail count, and four rails is the arrangement that supports equipment at the rear as well as the front
    Door type
    Lockable glass with a reversible hinge — the second bullet names a changeable door stop for individual adaptation, and the fourth a lockable door with a lock
    Ventilation
    Ventilation holes in the floor and top plates for optimal air circulation — stated in the third bullet, with the fourth adding a provision for fan mounting. No fan size and no aperture dimension is published
    Stated load rating
    Not published on the listing — no static load figure appears. The fifth bullet gives the cabinet’s own weight as 19 kg and the first calls the construction solid
    Cable entries
    Above and below — stated in the fourth bullet as cable feed-throughs at the top and the bottom for tidy cabling, alongside the lockable door
    Lock type
    Not published on the listing — the fourth bullet names a lockable door with a lock and gives no pattern, key type or barrel
