Silicon Valley, CA, USA
Overview
This TLC distribution-style fiber optic cable is designed for reliable indoor backbone and horizontal networking environments. It features 12 optical fibers protected by a robust aluminum interlocking armor, providing enhanced physical protection against crushing and impact in high-traffic or demanding installation areas.
Constructed with 900um tight buffered fibers, the cable facilitates faster and more efficient field terminations. It eliminates the need for complex breakout kits, as connectors can be applied directly to the buffered fibers. The plenum-rated jacket ensures the cable meets strict fire safety requirements for installation in air-handling spaces.
