Please don't make assumption that, the armoured fiber optic cable is only for outdoor application as this theory does not make sense today. Armoured cable comes with additional protection features which the fiber extra-protected by corrugated steel tape (blue or green color) to avoid the cable from being bitten by pesticide animal.

In most cases, the cable was bitten by rats even the cabling was installed inside the building's trunking.
