Overview
The TLC Furcation Tube provides essential mechanical protection for delicate fiber optic strands during the termination process. Designed to facilitate the breakout of multi-fiber cables, this 2mm tubing ensures that 900µm tight-buffered fibers are properly managed and shielded within distribution or patch assemblies.
Constructed with an inner tube made of polypropylene or LDPE, this furcation tubing incorporates aramid yarn as a dielectric strength member for enhanced durability. Encased in a robust black PVC jacket, it is suitable for indoor fiber management environments where reliable protection against bending and physical stress is required during connectorization.
