Overview
The TLC Distribution Cable is a robust fiber optic solution designed for high-density networking environments requiring both performance and mechanical protection. Featuring 12 ClearCurve multimode 50/125um OM4 fibers, this cable is engineered for high-bandwidth applications in data centers and enterprise networks.
Constructed with 900um tight-buffered fibers, the cable allows for efficient field termination, eliminating the need for breakout kits. The inclusion of aluminum interlocking armor provides significant crush resistance, making it suitable for deployment in demanding indoor environments where additional physical protection is required for sensitive optical pathways. It is rated for plenum installations, ensuring compliance with fire safety codes.
