Good armored cable is in a league all its own in terms of how durable it is, but only so long as the connectors on either side aren't fragile. Once it's put to a panel you don't have to worry about it again sure, but I've had many a situation both personally and having other people accidentally break LCs off an armored cable while routing it for a variety of reasons. Sometimes you can salvage it if the glass and ferrule aren't broken, but you're not always that lucky. It's easily the weakest link in any fibre cable no matter where it's from, armored or not.

FS, however, sells their armored cable with your choice of connector including SC and ST, which are both far more durable than flimsy LCs while still being easy to handle unlike FCs. This means you can have your important and expensive runs of fibre use the more robust terminations that you can give anyone in the shop to run and when it comes time to patch a switch you can just use a short, inexpensive bit of patch cable to go from your SC/ST into your LC SFP modules. That's a hard sell from other vendors, they rarely sell anything other than LC if terminated at all!

On top of that, they sell this at a very fair price regardless of what you terminate it with or what kind of jacket you want/need. Stop looking: you've found the good stuff :)
