500ft/150m OD-5mm Industrial TPU OM3 Fiber LC to LC Outdoor Armored Fiber Patch Cable, Duplex Multimode Fiber Optic Cable, 10Gb, 50/125, Uniboot LC-LC with Pulling Eye Kit Installed on one end

My garage is separate from my house and about 120 feet away with the house having aluminum siding and the garage being poured concrete and cinderblock. Needless to say, getting a wi-fi signal from the house to the garage or even deeper into my backyard was problematic. So I bought another wi-fi router and placed it in the garage and then one ethernet to optical / fiber converter for in the house and another for in the garage. Then it was just a matter of connecting both of these with this patch cable. It is armored so I could pull it through the underground conduit between the house and garage without having to worry about damaging the cable. It also has / had a nice net and hook already on the end for pulling which once done is easy enough to cut off and get out of the way. I actually waited a bit before doing the review because I did pull it through the underground conduit and since I couldn't see if it had somehow damaged it in a way that would not show up until later. That installation was back in June 2024 and today in late 2025 - no problems at all.

Amazing buy. I had bought a more expensive version that didn’t have the handy pull tape attachments. I ended up messing up the wire and had to replace it, so I went with this cheaper version because I didn’t want to spend a ton of money again. this thing worked out great. Ended up putting it back in the same conduit, pulling it all the way through and it works perfect! It’s be helpful to have the pull attachments on both ends just in case. Otherwise great but!!

Although this cable is more expensive than the typical fiber cable, it is a very high quality. It is armored, underground rated and unlikely to be damaged pulling though trenches, walls and ceilings. It is also very flexible. I would highly recommend this cable. My latest use was to run fiber from the ISP equipment to my rack. I wanted to isolate my equipment from the ISPs equipment.

Had it now in place for one full season. So far so good. we buried 3 lines. 800, 450 & 300 ft lengths. all worked perfectly at full speed. Just wish the cable casingbwas a bit thicker.

This was my first fiber run ever. It was also my first underground run through conduit. I did VASTLY underestimate the amount of friction that a few bends in the conduit add, however, we used some IDEAL cable lube and sent it down the pipe. Frirst try we made it about half way and our weak pull-string broke. Given we were REALLY pulling on this SOB, though a couple conduit bends. Make sure your pull string is TOUGH! Second attempt we cut the conduit before the last bend and pulled. Then the metal clip that fixes the fiber cable to the pull string BROKE. Yes, the METAL hook broke. Two men were pulling just as hard as they could, and the cable wouldn't budge after about 500 ft. That's when it snapped. Attempt three, we removed all bends from the conduit and fed the cable through section-by-section. It pulled like butter. It's amazing how much friction a bend creates. Long, long story short, we finish pulling the cable all the way through the bends, gripping the actual cable iteslf -- pulling and bending it in an unsavory fashion. We finally hook it up to the switch and whammo! Gigabit speeds from point to point! I was beyond words... I was SURE that we had damaged the fraglie fiber optic. I was sure we streched the cable to oblivion... Nope. Baby was working like a charm. I'd give this cable 50 Stars if I could. I definitely know what kind of cable I'm buying for any other jobs.

Used for 10GB link between two buildings. 400 foot length. UniFi equipment on each end. This cable was fantastic and easy to pull. Silky smooth cable also, so it pulled a lot easier than CAT5/6 cable.

It's tough. Pulled a few thousand feet of it with 0 issues. I yanked really hard on this stuff. 250ft aerial run no problem. Good quality fiber for a good price. I did dock one star because the reel has a tab to hold the end that isn't for pulling and it's comes off really easy and then the connector gets in the way when you're pulling. No big deal just a small gripe.

I have bought several spools of different length and not one issue. They pull very easy and they signal quality is great.
