Have you looked on CPC's website? They have some very fancy looking opticals for far lower prices than QED and Chord Co charge for similar looking things.. Not sure if they're glass cored though.

glass is a bit better than plastic , i was a cable maker for AEI (gec cable division) (marconni) through the 70s/80s/90s, if you fit and play , they found better transfer (slightly) till you , plugged/unplugged a few times , then the glass cable tended to splinter/fracture at the ends , plastic did not suffer like this (thats why you can put up strip down your fibre optic christmas tree without fail every year) so buy glass enjoy , just keep it plugged in
getting older and now getting wiser
