Overview
The TLC Furcation Tube is designed to provide professional-grade protection for 900μm bare optical fibers during the termination process. It serves as a ruggedized transition point, allowing sensitive bare fiber to be integrated into standard connector hardware without risking damage or signal loss.
The tube is constructed with an internal pathway surrounded by a protective layer of aramid yarn, enclosed within a durable PVC jacket. This design ensures mechanical strain relief and environmental protection for the fiber. Its 2mm outer diameter is compatible with a wide range of industry-standard fiber optic connectors, making it an essential component for custom cable assembly and field termination applications in controlled indoor environments.
