Overview
The TLC Indoor/Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable is a robust, distribution-style cable designed for versatile deployment in both indoor and outdoor environments. Featuring 12 high-performance ClearCurve multimode 50/125um OM3 fibers, this cable is engineered to provide reliable data transmission in a variety of networking applications.
Construction includes 900µm tight-buffered fibers and water-blocking aramid yarn strength members, all protected by a durable, UV-resistant black jacket. The inclusion of aluminum interlocking armor provides significant mechanical protection during installation and in rugged-use scenarios. The plenum-rated design makes it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces without the need for additional conduit or innerduct in certain indoor applications.
This cable is gel-free, which simplifies the termination process by allowing for direct connectorization onto the 900µm tight-buffered fibers. This feature eliminates the requirement for complex breakout kits, resulting in a more efficient and cost-effective installation process.
