Overview
The TLC 4 Fiber Multimode Distribution Cable is designed for backbone and trunk cabling applications within indoor environments. It features 50um OM2 fiber optics, providing a reliable solution for high-speed data transmission in local area networks and campus backbones.
Engineered with 900μm tight-buffered fibers, this cable simplifies termination processes by eliminating the need for complex breakout kits. Connectors can be applied directly to the tight-buffered fibers, and the cable structure supports efficient fusion splicing to backbone or trunk systems. This riser-rated cable is housed in a durable orange jacket suitable for vertical installations between floors.
