Bangun Uniboot LC to LC Armored Fiber Patch Cable, Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable Jumper Optical Patch Cord, 9/125um, (OS1/OS2 Compatible), LSZH Black, 1m

Good deal and just as advertised. Skinny, long and worked fine when tested. I appreciate the black color versus the ugly green and yellow colors of many fiber optic cables .

I was a bit skeptical when I ordered this fiber. Installed it and it was great. No issues at all.

I pulled this in a very difficult wire pull. So it stood up to more tension than ever suggested for fiber. It's been installed for over a 2 years. It's worked great so far.

[Original 10/28/2024] Today is Monday, it's been installed since the afternoon of Saturday, and was an instant upgrade. Google home responds noticeably faster to turn lights on and off, play music, ect, which is surprising since technically optics add more latency than ethernet or wifi. I'm guessing there was a lot of lost packets on the ethernet cable and wifi over the 400ish feet.As others have said, the only downside of having a pre-attached pulling eye is that you cannot test the cable before pulling it. But I'm pleased to say I had no issue! This is my first successful fiber run.I used Mikrotik switches and 6Com SFP+ transceivers (10GBase-LR: 10km) and it was all plug and play.The description says this cable is "low friction" and it was really easy to pull. I had tried before with the non-armoured cable "FLYPROFiber LC to LC OS2 150M, Single Mode Duplex" and it was really hard to pull and broke. This time I did a better job pulling, so it's not all the fault of the cable. But the first time I used wire lube and this time I did not. It was a year later, so I don't know if the lube was helping or not. I could feel this cable sliding through my hands as we pulled it, and it really is low friction as long as your hands/arms are not wet (sweaty). At no point did we have to apply any serious pressure, really nice!As a result of "doing a better job pulling" I have about 1 foot of this direct buried, I'll update if it ever stops working.

I bought this cable to replace a 100 foot, outdoor, aerial copper Ethernet cable between two buildings. The problem with the copper line was lightning strikes in the area sometimes charged the copper Ethernet wires and blew out my networking equipment. This would happen to me every 3 or 4 years. That got expensive. Since fiber is now cheap enough to run as a homeowner, I took the opportunity to replace the copper so I can relax during lightning storms.This cable needs a carrier wire to suspend it so as not to damage the fiber line itself. I already had that installed, as I was merely replacing the copper Cat6 line with a fiber line. To suspend this fiber cable, I wrapped it around my suspension cable every foot or so. I did find that the loops of the fiber line around my suspension cable tended to bunch up -- either the coating on this fiber line is "slippery" or the suspension cable is slippery, or both. Either way, I had to find a way to keep the fiber line from sliding down my suspension cable, so I used a bunch of smaller wires to physically wrap around both the fiber line and my carrier line to fix the two cables together every 10 feet or so.I bought this specific cable to match the media converters used to convert from electrical to optical on one end and then back to electrical signal on the other end. The description for the media converts I used was: "A Pair of Gigabit Single-Mode LC Fiber to Ethernet Media Converter (SFP LX Modules Included),1.25G Fiber Media Converter, 1000Base-LX to 10/100/1000Base-TX, 1310nm, SMF, Transmission up to 20-KM" You can read my review of those converters to see my experience with them.

Ran fiber from my home to my shop. I have many security cams, that I thought was bottle necking on the cat5. Definately did the trick. Nice to have 400mb speeds in the shop.

I purchased this 20-meter cable in January during house renovations and ran from my basement (where the NAS was to live) through the walls and vaulted ceiling of the 2nd floor. (not accessible now) And to a second 10g switch to service my wife's new Photo editing PC and 27" photo printer. At the time of installation, I did not have a 10g switch or 10g NIC card in my PC's or NAS's. Here I am 7 months later trying to get work out why the data from the NAS is super slow. After purchasing different NIC cards and switches with no result, I learned about iperf3 and finally was able to determine without any doubt the Fiber Cable is faulty. Luckily, I also ran a Cat 6a cable along the same route and am currently running 1g data. So now my only option is to purchase 2off 10g-rj45 Transducers and hope I can get close to the 10g were trying to achieve. I have vast experience with renovations, running cables and protecting them from tight bends, stretching and any damage whatsoever. I am positive the cable has had no damage or stress. My greatest regret is that I prior to installation I had no way to test this cable. So Bangun your so-called "tested cable" was not tested and is worthless, you have cost my hundreds of dollars in NIC cards, transducers and switches, not to mention the hours of time and frustration trying to isolate the issue. And I have yet to purchase 2 x 10g-rj45 Transducers around $50 each for decent brand transducers that will do 10g over 20 meters of Cat 6a. If you cannot test this cable before you install it, then DO NOT BUY it.

I'm super pleased with this cable. I installed it on a property with a lot of rainforest. I pulled it thru a lot of conduits and PVC hose which I then buried next to my water and power lines to connect multiple houses. In combination with some (cheap) Gigabit LC to Ethernet Media Converters. I thought for sure during the pulling of this cable it would get damaged. But it survived and is working perfectly, saving me a LOT of money. I'll certainly be buying more of this cable in the future.
