Overview
The TLC Distribution Cable with Aluminum Interlocking Armor is a robust optical solution designed for high-density environments where cable protection is paramount. Featuring 900um tight-buffered fibers, this cable simplifies installation by allowing direct termination of connectors and eliminating the need for complex breakout kits. Its design supports efficient fusion splicing to backbone or trunk systems.
Constructed with an aluminum interlocking armor layer, this cable provides superior crush resistance and physical protection against environmental hazards in indoor building infrastructures. The plenum-rated jacket ensures compliance with stringent fire safety regulations for use in air-handling spaces. With 6 optical fibers, this cable is intended for use in data centers, telecommunications closets, and enterprise network backbones requiring high-speed OM4 performance.
