Overview
The TLC 72 Fiber Multimode 50um OM3 Micro Distribution Fiber Optic Cable is engineered for high-density indoor environments where space-constrained routing is a primary requirement. Designed for use in data centers and premise network backbones, this cable features a compact form factor that facilitates easier installation in tight pathways and racks.
This cable utilizes a robust micro-distribution construction, where fibers are organized into subunits for improved identification and cable management. It is rated for Riser environments and features an aqua-colored jacket, aligning with standard OM3 color-coding requirements to ensure quick and accurate fiber identification during installation and maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary advantage of micro-distribution cable?
It provides a significantly smaller diameter compared to standard distribution cable, making it ideal for high-density environments with limited space.
Are these fibers organized into groups?
Yes, because the fiber count exceeds 12, the fibers are organized into individual 12-fiber subunits.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this specific version is rated for Riser (indoor) use. Contact support if outdoor or plenum requirements are needed.
What does the aqua jacket indicate?
The aqua jacket signifies that the cable uses OM3 50um laser-optimized multimode fiber.
Can this cable be armored?
Yes, micro-distribution cables can be ordered with aluminum interlocking armor upon request.
