Silicon Valley, CA, USA
Overview
This TLC distribution cable is designed for high-performance indoor networking applications. Featuring 4 fibers of 50/125um OM3 laser-optimized multimode fiber with ClearCurve bend-insensitive technology, this cable ensures reliable data transmission in compact environments. The riser-rated jacket allows for safe installation in vertical spaces between floors.
The cable utilizes a distribution style construction with 900um tight-buffered fibers. This design facilitates efficient field termination, as connectors can be applied directly to the tight-buffered fibers without the need for additional breakout kits. It is an ideal solution for backbone and trunk cabling in data centers and enterprise LAN environments.
