5M 4 Core Industrial TPU LC to LC Outdoor Armored Fiber Optic Cable, 4 Strands OS2 Single Mode, LC Connectors, Direct Burial, Server Compatible

excellent cable quality works fine.

I installed 300 meters of this in my driveway. I rented a trencher and dug a trench 18 to 24 inches deep, ran the fiber through the trench and covered it up. I installed this about 6 months ago now and we have a great 10 gig connection between my home and our office. The cable seems durable and I had no trouble with it, though we did handle it carefully. This driveway gets a lot of traffic, and heavy equipment traffic as well. I did have connection problems at first, but we figured out that some dust got in the end cap as we pulled the fiber under the house. I bought a fiber cleaner and an inspection microscope, and after it was cleaned the fiber has been working perfectly.

Failed after one month. 5/6 strands broken. No obvious physical damage to the cable, it seems to have pulled apart internally due to sub-freezing temperatures. Not suitable as a outdoor cable. Which is a shame, as the main body felt durable.

Durable material.

Installed in a business office across a drop ceiling span from IDF closet to tenant space. One of the cores seems to be a little flaky and we can't get a constant signal across it. No big deal as we really only needed a single pair at this time so the rest are available as spares or for future expansion, but it looks like instead of a 3 pair we functionally have a 2 pair. It's not worth tearing out and replacing at this point, especially since that would cause an interruption for the tenant.
