I'm going to India for some system installations and I'm running into problems with customs clearance on the fiber patch cables that I'm shipping with the server kit. It seems simpler to just buy the patch cables locally. I've tried searching online from the US, but it's been overwhelming with irrelevant results. I'm wondering if any system admins here can recommend suppliers in India, particularly in Mumbai and Chennai, for single-mode and multi-mode duplex LC patch cables. I specifically need some 2M and 3M SM and MM cables.

Have you thought about asking the data center that’s hosting your kit? They might be able to source the cables for you.
Maybe take them with you in your suitcase? Just be careful not to attract any customs issues. Packing them with your other cables might save you some hassle.
If you have a local team, they might be your best bet for finding cables quickly. Have you tried reaching out to them directly? They could have resources or suggestions.
I work in the field and can reach out to our suppliers in Asia to get some options for you. It might take a little time, but I can help!
