Overview
The TLC 2 Fiber SM SMF28 Ultra Distribution Cable is designed for efficient, high-performance fiber optic installations. Featuring 900μm tight buffered fibers, this cable simplifies the termination process by eliminating the need for complex breakout kits, allowing for direct connector termination or easy fusion splicing to backbone cabling.
This riser-rated distribution cable is engineered for indoor environments where fire safety and ease of installation are critical. Its compact design ensures efficient use of conduit space, while the robust construction provides the necessary protection for internal network backbone and trunking applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the riser rating mean?
Riser-rated (OFNR) cable is engineered to meet specific fire safety standards for use in vertical shafts or between building floors.
Do I need breakout kits for this cable?
No, the 900μm tight buffered construction allows for direct termination of connectors.
Can this cable be used outdoors?
This specific part is designated for riser (indoor) applications; it is not rated for external or direct-buried environments.
What is the primary benefit of SMF-28 Ultra fiber?
SMF-28 Ultra is an ITU-T G.657.A1 compliant singlemode fiber that offers improved macrobend performance while remaining backwards compatible with existing G.652 fibers.
How is this cable sold?
This cable is sold by the meter to accommodate specific project requirements.
