Overview
The TLC Indoor/Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable is a robust, distribution-style cable designed for versatile use in both indoor and outdoor environments. Featuring 12 strands of 50/125um OM4 multimode fiber, this cable utilizes ClearCurve technology for high performance and reliability. Its construction is optimized for flexibility and ease of handling during installation.
This cable is engineered with a gel-free design, allowing for direct termination of connectors onto the 900µm tight-buffered fibers, which eliminates the need for break-out kits and reduces total installation time and costs. The cable features water-blocking aramid yarn strength members and a durable, UV-resistant black jacket, making it suitable for protected outdoor use when placed in conduit or innerduct.
