Overview
This 3mm furcation tubing is designed to provide robust mechanical protection when breaking out multi-fiber cables. It is specifically engineered to accommodate 900µm tight-buffered fibers, making it a critical component for field terminations and patch cord assemblies.
The construction features an inner tube surrounded by aramid yarn, which acts as a dielectric strength member, protected by a durable PVC outer jacket. This design ensures the integrity of the optical fiber while providing the necessary flexibility for installation in various network environments, including data centers and telecommunications facilities. This slate-colored tubing is available as part of a 12-color standard identification system.
