Overview
The TLC Distribution Cable is a robust indoor/outdoor fiber optic cable designed for high-density networking environments. Featuring 12 ClearCurve multimode 50/125um OM3 fibers, this cable is engineered for high performance in data centers and backbone cabling applications where physical protection is paramount.
This cable utilizes a distribution-style construction with 900um tight-buffered fibers, which allows for direct termination of connectors without the need for additional breakout kits, saving valuable installation time. The inclusion of Aluminum Interlocking Armor (AIA) provides superior crush resistance and physical protection against rodents or impact in exposed environments, while the Plenum-rated jacket ensures compliance with stringent building fire safety codes.
