Overview
The TLC Furcation Tube is designed to provide robust protection for 900μm bare fiber during the termination process. This 2mm diameter tubing serves as a transition point, allowing delicate bare fibers to be integrated into standard connector hardware by providing the necessary structural support and strain relief.
The construction consists of an inner protective tube reinforced with aramid yarn, enclosed within a durable polyethlyene jacket. This configuration ensures that the fiber is shielded from mechanical stress, kinking, and environmental factors during and after installation. It is ideal for field termination environments where reliable, consistent protection for exposed fiber is required.
