Overview
The TLC Furcation Tube is designed for professional fiber optic termination and cable management, providing a protective transition for 250µm tight-buffered fibers. This 3mm outer diameter tubing features a 900µm inner tube that shields delicate fiber strands during the termination process, ensuring long-term mechanical stability.
Constructed with a robust PVC jacket and reinforced with aramid yarn, the furcation tube provides excellent strain relief and protection against environmental stresses. The high-visibility yellow jacket is ideal for color-coding applications in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise network installations.
