TLC Furcation Tube 2mm Red (per meter)

Overview

The TLC 2mm Furcation Tube in red is engineered to provide robust mechanical protection for sensitive fiber optic strands during the termination process. It is specifically designed to accommodate 900μm bare fibers, ensuring they remain secure and protected when breaking out multi-fiber cables into individual manageable leads.

Constructed with an inner tube, an integrated aramid yarn strength member, and a durable PVC outer jacket, this tubing offers the necessary flexibility and dielectric protection for field and factory terminations. It is suitable for a wide range of connector styles, making it a versatile component for network infrastructure, data center, and premise cabling environments.

Key Features

• Protective PVC Jacket

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary purpose of this furcation tube?
It is used to protect individual 900μm fiber strands after they have been broken out from a larger, multi-fiber cable assembly.

Is the outer jacket flame retardant?
The jacket is constructed from PVC; please consult your local building codes regarding specific fire rating requirements for your installation.

Can I use this for outdoor applications?
This tube is primarily designed for indoor breakout protection. For harsh outdoor environments, consider specialized outdoor-rated cabling solutions.

What is the strength member made of?
The tube utilizes aramid yarn, which provides dielectric strength and strain relief for the fiber.

Is this sold by the meter?
Yes, this product is sold by the meter to accommodate specific project lengths.
