Overview
The TLC 2mm furcation tube provides a robust protective covering for individual optical fibers. It is specifically designed to facilitate fiber breakout applications where 250µm coated fibers require additional mechanical support and protection before connector termination.
Constructed with an inner tubing layer, an aramid fiber strength member, and a durable PVC outer jacket, this tubing ensures excellent crush resistance and tensile strength. It is suitable for a wide range of indoor fiber optic cabling environments and is available in 12 standard TIA colors for intuitive circuit identification.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary use for 2mm furcation tubing?
It is used to provide a protective breakout for bare 250µm fibers, allowing them to be safely handled and terminated into standard fiber optic connectors.
Can I use this with 900µm buffered fiber?
This tubing is specifically designed for 250µm coated fibers; it may not provide the correct fit for tighter buffer specifications.
What does the aramid yarn do?
The aramid yarn serves as a dielectric strength member, adding tensile strength to the assembly to protect the delicate optical fiber inside.
Is the jacket material suitable for plenum spaces?
The jacket is constructed from PVC; please consult your local building codes regarding installation requirements for indoor cabling.
Are other colors available?
Yes, the tubing is available in all 12 standard TIA colors to assist with circuit identification.
