Overview
The TLC 48 Fiber Multimode 62.5µm OM1 Indoor/Outdoor Cable is engineered for versatile networking applications, providing a reliable solution for both premise and campus environments. This distribution-style cable features a gel-free design, which simplifies the termination process by allowing connectors to be applied directly to the 900µm tight-buffered fibers without the need for additional breakout kits. This reduces both complexity and labor costs during installation.
Constructed with water-blocking aramid yarn strength members and a robust, UV-resistant black jacket, this cable provides essential protection against environmental factors. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor use; however, for burial applications, the cable must be installed within a conduit or innerduct. Its flexible design ensures easy handling, while the durable outer jacket maintains integrity in rugged installation environments.
