Overview
The TLC Distribution Fiber Optic Cable is engineered for reliable high-speed data transmission in indoor environments. This 24-fiber cable features Corning SMF-28 Ultra singlemode fiber, optimized for low signal attenuation in both 1310nm and 1550nm operating windows. The inclusion of aluminum interlocking armor provides enhanced physical protection, making the cable suitable for high-traffic areas or environments where additional crush resistance is required.
Constructed with 900um tight-buffered fibers, this distribution cable facilitates efficient field termination. It eliminates the need for complex breakout kits, as connectors can be applied directly to the buffered fibers. The plenum-rated yellow jacket ensures compliance with building fire safety standards for air-handling spaces.
