Overview
The TLC 48 Fiber Multimode 50um OM3 Indoor/Outdoor cable is a robust, gel-free distribution style cable designed for high-density networking environments. Its multi-purpose construction allows for seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor applications, providing a versatile connectivity solution for campus networks and building backbones.
Engineered for efficiency, the cable features 900µm tight-buffered fibers that allow for direct termination of connectors without the added cost or complexity of breakout kits. The protective jacket is UV-resistant for outdoor resilience, while the water-blocking aramid yarn strength members protect the fiber core from moisture and installation stresses.
