TLC Furcation Tube 3mm/900um Inner Tube Orange

Overview

The TLC Furcation Tube provides essential mechanical protection for delicate 250µm fibers when transitioning to 900µm buffered fiber. Designed for high-reliability termination, this furcation tube is an ideal solution for field technicians and installers needing to prepare fiber for a variety of standard connector styles in indoor and patch panel environments.

Constructed with a robust inner tube, the assembly is reinforced with aramid yarn for improved tensile strength and protected by a durable PVC jacket. This design ensures that the fiber remains shielded during routing and connection, helping to maintain signal integrity while simplifying the termination process.

Key Features

• Aramid Yarn Reinforcement
  Provides increased pull strength and protection against mechanical stress during cable management.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary use of this furcation tube?
It is used to protect and enlarge the diameter of 250µm bare or buffered fibers so they can be securely terminated into standard 3mm connectors.

Does this tube protect the fiber from tension?
Yes, the inclusion of aramid yarn within the tube provides necessary tensile support to protect the fiber from strain.

Is the jacket fire-rated?
The tube features a standard PVC jacket, which is generally suitable for indoor premises applications.

Is this tube available in other colors?
Yes, it is part of a series that offers 12 standard TIA/EIA colors for identification purposes.

Can I use this for outdoor applications?
This specific product is designed primarily for indoor use as a furcation solution; consult local codes for outdoor routing requirements.
