Overview
The TLC 2mm furcation tube provides essential mechanical protection for delicate fiber optic strands when breaking out multi-fiber cables. By transitioning bare fibers into a 2mm buffered format, it enables easier handling and secure termination to a wide range of connector styles.
Designed for reliability in field and shop environments, the construction features an inner tube protected by an integrated aramid yarn strength member and a durable PVC outer jacket. This design ensures the fiber remains safe from tensile stress and external physical damage during installation and operation.
Key Features
-
Integrated Strength Member
Features aramid yarn as a dielectric strength member to provide superior tensile resistance during cable routing. -
Connector Compatibility
Specifically engineered for termination to a broad variety of common industry connector styles. -
Color-Coded Identification
Available in standard TIA color-coding to simplify fiber management and circuit identification in dense enclosures. -
Durable Protective Jacket
The PVC outer jacket provides a resilient barrier against environmental hazards and physical abrasion. -
Compact 2mm Outer Diameter
Optimized for tight-space routing within rack-mount enclosures and patch panels. -
Fiber Protection
Accepts 250µm diameter coated fiber, ensuring the raw fiber is shielded from micro-bends and crushing forces.
Applications
- Cable breakout and transition assemblies
- Rack-mount fiber management systems
- Protection of 250µm bare fibers in patch panels
- Field termination environments
