Overview
The TLC Duplex Furcation Tube provides essential protection for bare optical fibers during the termination process. Designed for indoor riser applications, this furcation tubing is a critical component for managing and shielding fibers as they are transitioned into connectorized assemblies.
Constructed with an inner tube reinforced by aramid fibers and protected by a durable PVC jacket, it provides the structural integrity required for field terminations. The 3mm outer diameter allows for compatibility with a wide range of industry-standard connector styles, while the integrated pull string simplifies the insertion of fiber through the tube.
Key Features
-
Integrated Pull String
Features an internal pull string to facilitate quick and easy fiber threading during assembly. -
Aramid Fiber Strength Members
Includes integrated aramid yarns to provide tensile strength and prevent fiber breakage during handling. -
PVC Jacket Construction
Utilizes a riser-rated PVC outer jacket for flame retardant performance in vertical indoor environments. -
3mm Outer Diameter
Designed with a 3mm OD, making it universally compatible with standard fiber optic connector boots and strain relief systems. -
Color-Coded Identification
Available in a standard aqua color for high-visibility identification in multi-fiber environments. -
Flexible Design
Provides excellent bend radius protection for delicate fibers during the termination process.
Applications
- Field termination of bare fiber
- Fiber optic patch cord assembly
- Break-out kit construction
- Central office and data center fiber management
