FS armored patch is different then clearfield pushable. FS has a 900um loose inside a metal spiral with a PVC jacket. CFD pushable has a 900um in gel inside a thick plastic jacket. You can't really push the FS with connectors on it, or at all really. The FS is much more flexible and doesn't kink like CFD pushable but you can't push it. I don't like CFD pushable outside of microduct. Too easy to mess up and there are better fibers for the application.
