Overview
The TLC 3mm Furcation Tube with pull string is designed to provide durable protection for individual 900µm tight-buffered fibers when breaking out multi-fiber cables. By providing a robust outer layer, it ensures the integrity of the fiber during termination and protects against environmental stress in various networking and cabling environments.
Constructed with a protective PVC outer jacket and incorporating aramid yarn as a dielectric strength member, this tubing is engineered for reliable performance in fiber management applications. The inclusion of a pull string simplifies the installation process, allowing for efficient fiber insertion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of furcation tubing?
Furcation tubing is used to transition tight-buffered fibers from a larger multi-fiber cable into individual, protected strands that are suitable for termination to connectors.
Does this include a way to pull the fiber through?
Yes, this specific model includes a pull string to aid in the insertion of the fiber.
Is the jacket material suitable for indoor use?
The outer jacket is constructed from PVC, which is standard for many indoor cabling applications. Always check local fire codes for plenum or riser requirements.
Can I order this in other colors?
The product is available in 12 standard TIA colors for identification purposes.
What is the inner diameter construction?
The inner tube is available in either polypropylene or LDPE material.
