Overview
The TLC Distribution Fiber Optic Cable is a robust solution designed for high-density networking and backbone cabling applications. Featuring 48 SMF28 Ultra singlemode 9/125um fibers, this cable is engineered for high-performance data transmission in indoor environments requiring enhanced protection.
The cable utilizes 900um tight buffered fibers, which significantly simplify the termination process by eliminating the need for breakout kits. It is enclosed in an aluminum interlocking armor, providing superior mechanical protection against crushing and impact, making it ideal for high-traffic areas or environments where additional cable durability is required. The Plenum-rated jacket ensures compliance with building fire safety standards for use in air-handling spaces.
