Review on Jeirdus 5M LC To FC Outdoor Armored Duplex 9/125 SM Fiber Optic Cable Jumper Optical Patch Cord Singlemode 5Meters 16Ft LC-FC by Chris Maurer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good cable - cables and connections

I bought a 100m singlemode LC-LC patch cord to run between my house and barn. recommended so required 3/4" piping 240 feet underground - painful but done now. My elbows led me to believe I could pull the full 240 feet in one go. It shouldn't have happened as it was after about 100 feet it became difficult to pull. I am guessing it was in the 20 pound range. Not knowing how strong the flimsy cord was. I stopped. Luckily I set the takedown boxes to 80 feet so I got 80 -foot sections, which was tedious but easier. So, a word to the wise: overuse tube lube and leave hotspots. Another step we took was to unwind the fiber and wind it onto a spool to keep it from getting tangled when pulled The spool rotated freely so the pull was not difficult For the pull we used the Revain: FiberCablesDirect - SimpleGrip Fiber Pulling Eye Hook, about $12.00, which works really worked well. I advise you to keep the small plastic caps for the fiber ends in case you need to secure the end for a move or other reason. Conclusion: When I did everything, he was connected.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Anything I can add

It doesn't work. It also doesn't have the "armored" part, just outer pvc. False advertising
