100M LC to ST Outdoor Armored Duplex Singlemode Fiber Cable - 100m

Our review of the 100M LC to ST Outdoor Armored Duplex Singlemode Fiber Cable finds it best suited for technicians and installers who need a long, durable patch cord for outdoor distribution runs where abrasion, moisture, or rodents are concerns. The single biggest reason to buy is the armored construction combined with standard LC/PC to ST/PC connectors, which gives reliable low-loss links across a full 100 meters while offering better protection than typical patch cords. It is a practical choice for demanding LAN/WAN deployments that require a ready-to-install outdoor jumper.

Key Features

• 100 meter length: Provides a full 100m (328ft) reach for long links without splicing, simplifying outdoor runs between buildings or cabinets.
• Outdoor armored design: Metal sheathing under a robust outer jacket offers extra protection from abrasion, pests, and moisture compared with standard cables.
• Singlemode 9/125 fiber: Carrier-class singlemode fiber reduces signal loss over long distances and matches standard singlemode equipment.
• LC to ST connectors: Ceramic ferrule LC/PC and ST/PC connectors ensure stable connections and low insertion loss across compatible gear.
• 100% tested: Each cable is tested before delivery, giving confidence in performance for critical voice and data links.
• Weatherproof cover: A protective outer cover resists sunshine and rain for exposed installations, though it is not intended for direct burial.

Who It's For

This cable suits network engineers, installers, and integrators who need a long, factory-terminated outdoor jumper with armored protection for edge runs, rooftop links, or between telecom cabinets. Its singlemode 9/125 construction and carrier-class testing make it appropriate for LAN/WAN backbones and voice or data projects where a consistent low-loss connection is important.

It is not ideal for projects that require underground burial or aerial lines without additional conduit and support; buyers who need fully burial-rated or ultra-flexible indoor patch cords should look elsewhere. Also, if different connector types or multimode fiber are required, select a product matched to those standards.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable armored construction gives extra protection in exposed environments.
• Carrier-class singlemode fiber and ceramic connectors deliver low signal loss and reliability.
• Full 100m length removes the need for splices in many outdoor runs, saving time on installation.
• Weatherproof outer cover resists sun and rain for above-ground deployments.

Cons

• Not recommended for direct burial or unsupported long-span overhead use without added protection.
• Some users reported mixed impressions of the perceived armoring vs. expectations, so verify mechanical needs for extreme abuse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this cable be buried directly?
No. The cable has a weatherproof cover for sun and rain but is not recommended for direct burial; use conduit or choose a burial-rated cable for underground runs.

Are the connectors low loss?
Yes. The cable uses ceramic ferrule LC/PC and ST/PC connectors, which are designed for low insertion loss and reliable connections with standard equipment.

Is this cable compatible with my equipment?
If your gear uses singlemode 9/125 fiber and LC or ST connectors, the duplex jumper is compatible; confirm connector types and adapter needs before ordering.
