Overview
The TLC Duplex Furcation Tube is designed to provide high-quality protection for bare optical fibers during the termination process. By providing a 3mm robust outer layer, it enables the transition from bare fiber to a cable structure suitable for field termination with a wide range of connector styles.
Constructed with an inner protective tube, reinforced with internal aramid fibers for tensile strength, and encased in a durable PVC jacket, this tubing is rated for riser environments. This design ensures that sensitive optical fibers remain protected from physical stress and environmental factors during and after installation.
Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary purpose of furcation tubing?
Furcation tubing is used to transition bare optical fiber into a thicker, protected jacket, allowing it to be terminated with standard fiber optic connectors.
Does this include a pull string?
Yes, this specific part number includes an integrated pull string to assist in threading the fiber through the tube.
Is this tubing suitable for plenum spaces?
This product is rated for riser applications. Always check local building codes for specific requirements regarding riser versus plenum ratings in your installation environment.
Can I use this for single fiber applications?
This is a duplex tube design. For single fiber, simplex versions are typically used, though it can be utilized if routing two fibers simultaneously.
