150M LC to LC Outdoor Armored Duplex 9/125 SM Fiber Optic Cable Jumper Optical Patch Cord Singlemode 150Meters 492ft LC-LC

Bought a 50m LC terminated cable for a project at home. Everything seemed of decent quality except the “Y” crimp just before the LC connector. Tested OK, but one element must have broken before installation was complete.I had to pull this cable (with lube) through a 3/4” pipe about 30’ long. All smooth edges and only two wide 90 degree bends. Sadly the supple rubber outer jacket of this armored cable is relatively “sticky”, so lube was required. I pulled carefully, and cable still tested good afterward. I then routed the cable around the inside perimeter of my pole building garage up out of the way so it would not get pinched by tools or other things being stored. After this simple routing, the cable would no longer pass light on one of the elements.Since the cable is no longer good for anything (I don’t have the means to re-terminate), I cut it apart for other folks here to see what’s inside.I decided to try again using a more typical yellow patch cable, and things worked fine. I believe this cable is probably pretty good, just maybe not up to the task of ANY pulling through conduit. I would like to try a few more for shorter runs or other jobs that don’t involve conduit to see how they hold up.The armor is some kind of steel - almost seems like stainless. It allows for a pretty tight bend - maybe too tight, but would certainly hold up well to other abuse. Would be fun to do some torture tests.

I purchased the 100M LC-LC single mode patch cable to run between the house and the barn.This is rated "outdoor" but direct bury is not recommended so a of run 3/4" conduit 240' underground is was needed- a pain but now done.I thought I used enough "snot" in the pipe as I was making the joints and the fact it was a straight run with no elbows lead me to believe I could pull the full 240' at once. This was not to be as after about 100' it became hard to pull. I would guess it was in the 20 lb range. Not knowing how tough the thin cable was I stopped. Fortunately I had put pull boxes at 80' spacing so I was able to pull in 80' sections which was tedious but easier.The outer sheath of this cable is a rubber like material which apparently has pretty high friction against he pipe. So a word to the wise: Over use the pipe lubricant and leave access points.Another step that we took was to uncoil the fiber and rewind it on a spool so as to prevent it from getting tangled while pulling. The spool was free wheeling so that did not contribute to the difficulty pulling.For a pulling eye, we used this from Amazon: FiberCablesDirect - SimpleGrip Fiber Pulling Eye Hook, about $12.00 which worked really well.Advise that you keep the little plastic caps for the fiber ends in case you need to secure the end for relocation or other reasons.Bottom line: When I was all done it linked.

Purchased this for a network connection between our house and pole barn, approximately 75 feet away. Tested the fiber with between two switches using HP X120 LC/LX 1310nm SFP modules and experienced no errors. Buried the cable in 3/4" Schedule 40 PVC, and has been running without error for a month now.The cable says "direct burial" in the description, but the jacket on the cable is very thin. I would ensure that the fiber has a smooth sand base and backfill around it if burying directly - I felt better using PVC conduit to ensure physical protection from crushing damage.Nicely terminated ends, polish looked good under 10x magnification, and connectors hold securely. Good value for the money.

This is not armored despite description. Item arrived without optical continuity and was incorrect for our use outdoor. Product description is a lie. Don't waste your valuable time with this product

I purchased this fiber cable for a project I was doing at home. When I received the cable it was in a neat and clean package. I ran the fiber through the walls and such to a media converter and a fiber switch. From what I have seen so far, it seems to be holding up pretty well. I ran several internal lan tests from the fiber converter and the speeds I have seen are on par with what I would expect from this cable. This cable will work on MMF SFP if you are using ubiquiti gear. (I use ubiquiti gear at home). Overall its not too bad.

My concern is for the durability, they work great and claim to be armored, but I think a rabbit could bite the cable in half. It is smaller than one side of standard lamp cord. We have this one plus a 75m run installed, and to prevent animals from tripping on it or eating it (it runs through the woods), we buried it about 2 inches deep. Will update the review later on the result of this. The instructions say not to bury it but I think it is more likely to be damaged by deer kicking it or chipmunks gnawing it, than by being slightly buried.

I ordered this about 6 weeks ago know I would be using it once other items came in from other vendors. I got it installed this weekend only to find out that it was DOA. I tried to return it with Amazon but was told that it no longer qualified for return status. Kinda sucks that my planning ahead to have all of the equipment I needed ready to go when the last part arrived came back to bite me in the wallet.

This product seems well made and when it doesn't self destruct it works well. However the product has a relatively large plastic piece where it breaks out of the single armored section into the two individual fibers. This makes pulling through conduit or even in other slightly cluttered spaces very difficult (had it snag and break apart multiple times).

I bought this product 2 years ago for my parents country house, basically running it buried between the house and garages buildings and since I was very pleased with the solid plastic outer jacket, I ordered again.Previous generation of cable was OK in the sunlight or direct burial because of this outer reinforced plastic jacket, but the new one lack this extra layer jacket. The new one seems to have the same metal and armored core, but missing the extra plastic layer that make the previous generation great to me. I would not order again for a project where the fiber is exposed to elements (sun or buried).Also the cable is twisted when rolled, making it difficult to pull in a pvc pipe.

I bought the 150m length LC to LC OS2 fiber cable. It has a tough rubber jacket. The rubber used on the jacket grips tightly in a conduit - so tightly that in my case the pulling force required pulled the fiber apart. I do not recommend this for in conduit installation. I used cable pulling lubricant all the way and it was not enough. Be warned. Otherwise the cable is fine.

The product arrived in a Solid cardboard box and was protected It came in a bag with the Testing information on it.Important to note is That this cable is a Single Mode fibre, which is where I made a mistake. The product works fine and is really high quality, but you have to get LR trancivers for single mode fibre.I returned the product as i needed a multi mode fibre for the run I wanted to do. The return was very easy and the email correspondence was kind and wrote in clear English.Another thing to take note of is the Plastic Y junction which also would not fit through my holes as its slightly wider that the LC connector itself about a mm or 2.But besides that The cable looks good as its black and feels rugged for a fibre cable compared to OM or OS fibres. Would buybit again if i have a usecase and would recommend it to other who need a long fibre run.

No nos ha funcionado... hemos revisado continuidad y no llega luz al extremo... vamos a tramitar devolución, una faena porque el envío tardó, ahora nos hemos quedado sin poder realizar la instalación y fuera de plazo nos tocará buscar alternativas.
