Armored fiber optic cable with build-in metal armor can provide stronger protection of the optical fibers than standards fiber optic cables. The rugged armored cables allow optical fiber to be installed in the most hazardous areas, including environments with slight dust, oil, gas, moisture, or even damage-causing rodents and pests.

I came to FS to look and see what they had. To my surprise, their armored SC|APC fiber cables are incredibly cheap! FS has a good reputation in the community anyway so I didn't hesitate to spend the mere $10 for a 10m [ARMORED] cable. (I bought a second one to keep as a spare.)
I just installed it and removed my previous spare and this cable works perfectly. It has a good heft to it and a brief pinch with your fingers makes it obvious that it'll hold up to a lot more than non-armored cables will.
Super happy with this. Thanks, FS!
