Overview
The TLC 6-fiber distribution cable is engineered for high-performance data center and enterprise network environments. Utilizing 50/125um ClearCurve OM4 multimode fiber, this cable provides superior bend-insensitive characteristics while maintaining full compatibility with standard OM4 infrastructure, making it an ideal choice for high-density patching and backbone installations.
Designed with a riser-rated jacket for indoor vertical pathways, this cable features 900um tight-buffered fibers. This construction facilitates direct field termination, eliminating the need for complex breakout kits and significantly reducing installation time and labor costs. The cable is purpose-built to support 10GbE and higher-speed data applications in demanding operating environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 900um tight buffer provide?
The tight buffer allows for direct connector termination, removing the requirement for bulky breakout kits and simplifying the field installation process.
Can this cable be used in plenum spaces?
No, this is a riser-rated (OFNR) cable. Please ensure installation meets local fire code requirements for riser applications.
Is this compatible with standard OM4 hardware?
Yes, this is standard 50/125um OM4 fiber and is fully compatible with standard laser-optimized multimode networking equipment.
Does this cable require special handling?
While robust, it is designed for indoor use. Avoid sharp bends and exceed the minimum bend radius during installation.
Is the fiber count fixed or expandable?
This specific part number is a 6-fiber configuration. Distribution cables in this series are available in higher fiber counts if required.
