Overview
The TLC Furcation Tube is designed to provide robust mechanical protection for 900µm tight-buffered fibers during breakout operations. It is an essential component for transitioning multi-fiber cable assemblies into individual fiber terminations, ensuring each fiber is shielded from physical stress and environmental factors.
This 3mm furcation tube features a durable PVC outer jacket and incorporates aramid yarn as a dielectric strength member, providing necessary tensile support. The inclusion of an internal pull string facilitates easy fiber insertion, making it an efficient choice for network technicians and fiber cable assembly houses. This version is supplied in a violet jacket color, supporting standard TIA color-coding requirements for network identification.
