Overview
The TLC 3mm Furcation Tube with a 900um inner tube provides critical mechanical protection when breaking out multi-fiber cables for connector termination. Designed to enhance the durability of fiber assemblies, it ensures that individual fibers are shielded during the termination process.
The construction consists of an inner tube encapsulated by a layer of aramid fibers for tensile strength, finished with a rugged PVC outer jacket. This design is engineered to support the transition from multi-fiber loose-tube cables to individual 900um buffered fibers, making it a standard component for field-terminated fiber optic assemblies in data centers and enterprise environments.
