Overview
The TLC 3mm Furcation Tube provides essential protection for bare optical fibers during the termination process. Designed to transition 250µm coated fibers into a more robust 3mm diameter format, this tubing is ideal for creating breakouts in multi-fiber cable assemblies.
The construction features an inner tube protected by aramid yarn for dielectric strength, encased in a durable PVC outer jacket. This design ensures that delicate fibers are shielded from mechanical stress, kinks, and handling damage in data center and enterprise network environments.
