Review on Jeirdus Outdoor Armored Optical Singlemode by Shane Picot

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good cable - fiber optic cable

I bought a 100m LC-LC singlemode patch cord to run between my house and barn. It required a 4-inch pipeline 240 feet underground—a pain but done now. I thought I used enough "snot" in the pipe when making the connections, and the fact that it was a straight section with no knees made me think I could pull all 240 feet in one go. It shouldn't have happened as after about 100 feet it became difficult to pull. I'm guessing it was in the 20lb range. Not knowing how strong the thin cable was, I stopped. Set the pull boxes 80 feet apart so I can pull 80 foot sections, which was tedious but easier. The outer jacket of this cable is a rubbery material that appears to have quite high friction against the tube. So, a word to the wise. : Excessive use of pipe lube and abandonment of access points. e and wind it on a spool so it doesn't get tangled when you pull it out. The spool rotated freely so it didn't make it difficult to pull. For pulling, we used Revain's: FiberCablesDirect - SimpleGrip Fiber Pulling Eye Hook, about $12.00, which worked really 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
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

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