YUTIANHOME 15 Meters Armored Fiber Patch Cable OM3, LC to LC Fiber Optic Cable Cord 10GB/Gigabit Multimode Jumper Duplex 50/125um, Multi Mode Outdoor OM3 LC Fiber 50 Foot

Background you can skip:I am an IT professional who has a location that employs existing fiber to transfer a network signal that has a demarc in a separate building across a parking lot. Unfortunately for me... the fiber line employed there currently is an older ST type installed.This wouldn't really be a problem, except that the "converters" that we have to use to translate the fiber ST connection to copper keep getting FRIED by lighting strikes, no matter how many surge protectors I carefully put them behind. Apparently ST converters are quite sensitive to voltage changes. I've run through three different brands of converter in under 2 years. Even when they don't completely fry, the hardware ends up dropping the connection constantly. I want to bypass the point of failure and plug the fiber line straight into a smart switch I installed a while back that has been a champ, but ST doesn't cooperate with an SPF connection type, so it's frustrating.Product:This new roll of thin fiber that says it is tough enough to stand a conduit pull might just be my answer.Normally, I wouldn't mess with pulling fiber, but this came up and looked like the PERFECT chance to set up an alternative line that I could test to see if it would solve my issue.I was impressed with how quickly it arrived. The connector end is secured to the roll with a bit of double sided sticky tape, to keep it from bending too much and possibly damaging the fiber inside. It's also secured with a bunch of cello wrap on the fiber line to keep the roll from unraveling during transport.I am going to have to schedule a date after Christmas to pull this new line and get it through the conduit, but I'm so excited to finally possibly solve this problem that I couldn't wait to post an initial impression of the roll. It's got a metal spool center with nice thick cardboard sides that will make it easy to set for a long-distance one person pull without tangling.This roll also included a fiber connector that would allow me to connect another line to 'extend' this fiber line if it were too short. I'm not all that sure what kind of pressure/pull strength that would stand up to, though. I think it would be more useful in an in-building situation than a conduit pull.I'll update this with more details after I get it through the conduit, but I'm hoping to really improve both signal strength and reliability of connection with this change of fiber type.

Fiber optic internet recently became available for my area, and so I began to study the different/most effective ways that I could extend the full speed of the fiber connection throughout my entire property. And while newer wireless router technology would certainly work, I often prefer a hard-wired connection. So this fiber optic cable turned out to be the right solution for me, allowing me to wire my entire house, from the fiber optic "entry" unit, to a router/switch (which converts the fiber signal to ethernet cable), to my backyard, where I can either install another switch for conversion to ethernet, or just leave it as is for connection to SFP ports/switches. This cable can handle speeds up to 10 GB, and so it's easily capable of handling the modest 2 GB speed that the new network delivers. The cable is very sturdy, "armored", so it is perfect for the outdoor run to my backyard. And it's nice that it comes pre-terminated (with connections at each end of the cable). And it also comes with an extra LC to LC UPC OM3/OM4 adapter for further extension. It's very easy to install, very much plug-n-play. And for the huge length of cable, it's a good value for the money.

I connected this to the SFP handoff from att fiber to run back to my network room 100 feet away outside along the way. this was a great way to do that since the cable is armored and I live in an area where this cable will get beat in the summer by 110+ degree weather.It has held up well to this wet weather so I look forward to see how the cable holds up to the summer heat no issues with the fiber so far it was plug and play to each side.

I got this 100ft fiber optic cable to provide internet to the RV connections at the back of my property. Running it through electrical conduit placed in a shallow trench was easy, and the connection is stable using a SFP to RF45 media converter. I have only tested 1GB transfer speeds, but those worked flawlessly.The cable is very sturdy, and "might" be ok outside of the conduit, but I would not want to risk it.Recommended.

So far this fiber is working as expected.A good price point for 300 feet of multi-mode fiber.Pulling through a conduit is a bit difficult due to the factory installed LC connectors.Overall a good value for the the money.
