Overview
The TLC Furcation Tube provides essential protection for delicate 250um bare fiber during the termination process. Designed to facilitate the transition from bare fiber to a more robust 2mm cable diameter, it is an ideal component for field terminations and patch cord assemblies.
Constructed with a durable PVC jacket and reinforced with aramid yarn, this furcation tubing ensures long-term structural integrity and strain relief. It is suitable for various indoor networking environments where organized and protected fiber management is required.
