Overview
The TLC Duplex Furcation Tube provides essential protection and organization for bare fibers during the termination process. This duplex design is specifically engineered for the professional termination of fiber optic connector pairs, offering a robust transition from loose fiber to individual connectors.
Constructed with an inner tube made from polypropylene or LDPE, this furcation tubing is reinforced with aramid yarn to serve as a dielectric strength member. The outer PVC jacket ensures durability in riser-rated environments. Designed for efficiency, this tubing is available in 12 standard TIA colors to facilitate clear, organized cable identification in dense network infrastructures.
