3M LC to LC Outdoor Armored Duplex 9/125 SM Fiber Optic Cable Jumper Optical Patch Cord Singlemode 3Meters 10FT LC-LC

I purchased a 50m length (SC-SC connectors) in 2022 to use between two pieces of professional audio equipment. The very low price made the expense reasonable in the event it didn't work. Once I had the right media converters (the first ones I tried were wrong) in place, it worked flawlessly. I have since picked up a 200m length to use on shows where 50m is too short. NOTE: if you are using this to connect devices with SEND and RECEIVE ports, you MUST cross the connectors at one end or it won't work – SEND at one end goes to RECEIVE at the other. I've seen several negative reviews that I believe were because this was not done.

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 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).

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've used 6 of these so far and they work great. They're thin enough to pull just about anywhere but durable enough to stay intact. These are now my go-to long premade patch cables.

I bought 40m length of this to run from my home to an outbuilding. I paired it with these converters from 10Gtek https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BYN83SL?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 and all is working well. This is my first experience with fiber optics and my first lesson learned was that you need to reverse the A&B lines on one end to make this work. The lines will snap out of the dual connector clip and can be snapped in in reverse. Essentially you need a crossover cable for this converter. I buried this stuff in a shallow grave for about 50 feet across my back yard. Some Q&A I read on here says direct burial is not recommended. It is also ran it for about 25 feet under my deck and 25 feet under the outbuilding. We shall see how long it lasts! The cable is very small, maybe 3/16th of an inch in diameter and for what it is worth can be run (including the "Y" and ends) through a 1/2 inch PVC pipe which I used for a riser on each end.

I took a chance with this fiber. Wasn't sure it was going to work after reading some of the reviews. I bought 2 pieces. A 15 meter for testing and a 150m (492ft) for one of my customers. The fiber is well made for the price. My test piece I scraped the insulation away and found kevlar and what appears to be a stainless steel coil for armor protection. For my customer we ran this fiber up a tree, over the road, down another tree and through the woods. Yes we really did this. Then pulled it through 125 feet of 3/4" conduit. We did NOT use lube in the conduit. Had no problem at all pulling it. This is my new goto cheap fiber. So far very happy with it. Update-Bought another 100m meter section. Installed a pulling eye from another piece of fiber. Had no problem pulling 200ft through Raindrip 061050 5/8X500 Poly Drip Tubing, 5/8" (bought on amazon). Again no lube required. Just make sure the tubing is perfectly straight when doing this.

Good quality fiber cable, and made from reasonably rugged material.

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.

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.

Quite disappointing that the manufacturer doesn't ship this rolled on a spool, instead of shipping in a loose roll. Very frustrating to have to unroll 200m of fibre onto the ground and then roll it onto my own spool in order to use it.

Fungerar bra. Snabb leverans. Bra hjälp att välja kabel innan beställning.
