Overview
The TLC Furcation Tube is designed to provide mechanical protection and cable structure for delicate optical fibers. By converting smaller, fragile fibers into a more robust 3mm diameter format, this furcation tube facilitates easier handling and termination to a wide range of connector styles.
The construction consists of a 900µm inner tube reinforced with aramid yarn for added tensile strength, encased within a durable PVC jacket. This design is well-suited for professional fiber optic installations where protection of the 250µm tight buffered fiber is critical. The aqua jacket is optimized for easy identification, particularly in multi-fiber environments.
