Overview
The TLC 12-fiber distribution cable is designed for high-density indoor networking applications, utilizing 50/125um OM3 ClearCurve multimode fiber. This cable features a plenum-rated jacket, making it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces as defined by building safety codes.
The construction utilizes 900um tight-buffered fibers, which facilitate rapid termination and direct connectorization without the requirement for breakout kits. The cable is designed for ease of use in backbone or trunk cabling installations where pigtail fusion splicing is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the plenum rating mean?
Plenum rating indicates that the cable jacket is constructed from materials that have low smoke and flame spread characteristics, allowing it to be installed in environmental air spaces.
Can I install connectors directly on this cable?
Yes, the 900um tight-buffered fiber construction allows for direct field termination of connectors without needing additional breakout hardware.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this is a distribution cable intended for indoor environments. Indoor/outdoor variations are available for external applications.
What is the primary benefit of ClearCurve fiber?
ClearCurve fiber is specifically engineered to be bend-insensitive, significantly reducing optical loss in tight installation environments.
How is the fiber organized?
This cable uses a distribution-style architecture where the fibers are grouped for efficient management and termination.
