Overview
The TLC Furcation Tube is designed to provide durable mechanical protection for bare optical fibers when breaking out multi-fiber cables. By transitioning 250µm diameter coated fibers into a 2mm outer diameter structure, this tubing facilitates easier handling and robust termination into a wide range of connector styles.
Constructed with an inner tube and aramid yarn for dielectric strength, the furcation tube is jacketed in PVC for durability in standard indoor environments. This slate-colored tubing is part of a 12-color system designed to simplify fiber identification during installation and maintenance.
