Overview
The TLC 2mm furcation tube provides essential mechanical protection when breaking out multi-fiber cables for termination. Designed for durability in industrial environments, this tubing protects 900µm tight-buffered fibers during the transition from loose tube or distribution style cabling to individual connectors.
Constructed with an inner tube made of either polypropylene or LDPE, it features an integrated aramid yarn strength member to provide dielectric protection and tensile support. The 2mm diameter is optimized for compatibility with a wide range of standard connector styles, while the slate-colored PVC outer jacket ensures easy identification and cable management within patch panels and enclosures.
