Overview
The TLC Duplex Furcation Tube is designed to provide professional-grade protection for bare 250um optical fibers during termination and cable assembly fabrication. This furcation tube serves as a critical interface when transitioning from bare fiber to standard connectorized patch cords, offering mechanical protection to the delicate glass strand.
Constructed with an inner tube, a protective layer of aramid strength members, and a durable PVC jacket, this tube is built to maintain fiber integrity in indoor environments. The riser-rated design ensures it meets typical safety requirements for building installations. Featuring an aqua-colored jacket, it is engineered to simplify identification within high-density cable management systems.
