For indoor/house fiber installs, we found that the armoured fiber cable is a godsend in cases of customers' pets chewing on the fiber / excessively tight bends / people putting weight on the fiber. Now I ask the installers to use it exclusively. We get it with "regular" connectors so it is still vulnerable to a strong pull from the connector, but at that amount of stress on the fiber it may pull out of / damage the SFP / CPE anyways.
