Overview
The TLC 3mm Furcation Tube provides essential physical protection for fiber optic strands when transitioning from multi-fiber cables to individual connectors. It is designed to safeguard 900µm tight-buffered fibers during termination processes, ensuring long-term integrity in high-density environments.
The construction features a protective inner tube reinforced with aramid yarn, enclosed within a durable PVC jacket. This design provides both mechanical strength and environmental protection, making it suitable for standard network installations and cable breakout applications.
