Overview
The TLC 4 Fiber Singlemode Distribution Cable is engineered for indoor backbone and trunk applications. Featuring 900μm tight-buffered fibers, this cable simplifies the termination process by eliminating the need for complex breakout kits. Connectors can be applied directly to the buffered fibers, or pigtails can be fusion spliced to the main cable assembly, offering flexibility for high-density networking environments.
Designed for riser-rated installations, this cable provides a balance of protection and flexibility required for vertical cable runs within buildings. The compact 4.4mm outer diameter ensures efficient use of conduit space, while the durable construction maintains signal integrity for sensitive singlemode data transmissions.
