Overview
The TLC 3mm Duplex Furcation Tube is designed to provide professional cable management and mechanical protection for delicate fiber strands during the termination process. It serves as an essential component when transitioning bare or tight-buffered fibers into standard industry connector styles, ensuring robust handling during field or factory assembly.
Constructed with an inner protective tube reinforced by a layer of aramid fibers for increased tensile strength and finished with a durable PVC jacket, this furcation tubing is engineered for indoor riser applications. The duplex configuration is specifically optimized to accommodate connector pairs, promoting organized and efficient routing within panels and closures.
