5Meters 16FT LC to FC 10G OM3 Outdoor Armored Duplex 50/125 Fiber Optic Cable Jumper Optical Patch Cord Multimode 5M LC-FC

This cable has been rock solid for the past 2 years. I have a 200m version and its been buried for the entire time. Has been able to provide 10gb with no issues. It seems to be quite durable even though its thinner than other outdoor cables I've installed. If its a good price I'd buy it again, but for the same price as others it might not be worth it.

The photo shows 249 ft. of this armored fiber optic cable! Several of these will fit in a 1" conduit as long as you stagger the connectors and tape them up well. They resist rabbit and field mouse nibbling very well, and are extremely flexible. The bend radius is really small for a fiber optic.

This fiber works well. We deployed it in conduit for a 50 meter run to an external building. Using it with two Cisco 2960G switches with regular GLC-MM-SX transceivers.DOM monitoring shows less than 0.5db loss on a 50 meter run. Right at -5dbm on both TX/RX.Hoping it will hold up well inside of the conduit. It is very small. The fiber came tested, with test results on the packaging itself. It indicated roughly -50db reflectance, so this is a very well prepared enclosure.It is OM3 rated, and I'm looking forward to trying it with 10Gb transceivers sometime in the future.

my cat chewed through my first fiber cable. The bright color interested him and it was really flimsy to begin with.He doesn't care about this cable though and hasn't tried to chew it once.

I had this taped to a fish tape and was pulling it through a 2.5" conduit that had a few other cat6's in it. Well, at each end of the wire there are these big plastic blocks where it transitions from the armored cable to the two strands for the LC connector and i guess the block caused enough resistance during the cable pull that it just ripped the end of the cable right off. Cable looks fine otherwise, but I wouldn't buy it again if it was going through conduit. I wasn't pulling that hard and the entire end of the cable and connector was tightly electrical taped to the fish tape.

It seems fine I don't like the outside jacket, cable seems very easy to break, not easy to tell how strong is and how much weight you could apply during a pull to make sure you don't damage the cable during installation run, 100m of length wouldn't be nice no to work after a long run and struggles to redo the job if wire is damaged.

I used this to replace an Ethernet cable between my house and our detached garage (where we have an AirBnB). It pulled through my underground conduit easily, no problems, and our connection out there is now electrically isolated, very fast, and stable!

The price is good it they worked. We tried 4 different ones and all of them broke.
