This LC fiber cable is good. I learn quickly that I need a armored fiber cable for my cats not to chew on the cable. This cable has been taking abuse from my office door and it is still working fine without any issues. Length is accurate when ordering. No data loss and I am able to transfer without any issues.

I had a couple single mode SFP+ SIP modules and needed an extra run to one of the bedrooms; this cable was inexpensive and fit the bill :-)The armor is a fairly lightweight.. I would not use use this cable in applications that involve much movement, burial, or transportation-based applications. That said, it is plenty durable enough for stationary residential patch cable duty, especially for systems or dropdowns that are not being moved around often.I am using this in a 5gbps external link residential application; with 10Gbase MMC/LCLC for most of the network; a couple nodes use single-mode (only because i had spare SM materials). Using single-mode fiber is *a bit* overkill for my application but it works great and i have no complaints.

I'm a dolt and got this thinking it would work with multi-mode SFP modules, but had I done the very basic amount of research one can do, I would know that it does not. Oh well, live and learn.What I will say is that the cable is very fine quality, feels premium, and should provide excellent throughput provided you have the correct hardware on either end to allow it :/ Plus it's Cable Matters and I have a docking station I use for my computer from them that's top notch, super reliable. I have faith this cable is just as good.

I tested this with two Soloda SL-85-192-M3 SFP adapters and I was not able to get a connection. I had activity lights, and it would connect and drop over and over. It's possible that the SFP adapters are the issue. They are new, but I have not had them in a working setup yet. I got this cable to test those adapters, and was unable to get any of it to work. The SFP adapters were accepted by my server's intel NIC, and by the router, so it seems like a link problem and not a confi problem. I will test with other cables and update this review in the future.

This singlemode duplex LC fiber cable from Cable Matters has some special features and is well built. The first thing you notice when unpacking this is the weight. That extra weight is the metal armor under the black jacket. Amazing to have armor at this diameter. The jacket on this is UV stabilized and rated LSZH-FR (Low Smoke Zero Halogen - Fire Retardant) which is important depending where this is run in the building. And finally, the Uniboot. Love the uniboot, they are so much cleaner looking and help this cable assembly protect the fiber even better. Ran this from a data outlet to my rack in the basement for a 10g link with no problems.

These are plug and play, well constructed and packaged. Worked perfect on the first try as expected.

This is a nice fiber patch cable it tested well.

Cannot get a link through the fiber. One side is shattered with -42 db. It's practically open. There is an extremely narrow possibility that it failed during installation. I pulled this fiber through a 1 inch duct for 67', using a lineman's basket, lashed to a fiberglass rod and plenty of tube lube to reduce friction. There was no obstruction in the duct nor anything else in it. It couldn't have been an easier pull. I could have installed an unarmored bare fiber with just the cladding and had a better result.The cable's armoring is not good if you cannot get a link with such an easy pull. Save your money and use an unarmored fiber if you're pulling it through a duct. I wanted a little more strength in a fiber that would travel in a buried duct.I would have requested an exchange but it is outside the return period.
