TLC Indoor/Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable, 12 Fiber, Singlemode 9/125um, Gel Free, Riser, Black (per meter)
Overview
The TLC Indoor/Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable is a robust, central tube cable designed for versatile deployment across both indoor and outdoor environments. Featuring 12 fibers of Corning® SMF-28® Ultra Singlemode 9/125um glass, this cable is engineered for high-performance signal transmission in a compact 4.8mm outer diameter.
The cable utilizes a gel-free, water-blocked design, which replaces traditional messy gels with water-swellable yarns. This construction significantly simplifies the connectorization and splicing process, saving installation time and reducing labor costs for technicians.
Constructed with a UV-protected, rugged riser-rated jacket, this cable is suitable for vertical installations and harsh outdoor conditions. Its durable design ensures long-term performance and protection against environmental elements, making it an ideal choice for campus networks, building-to-building links, and enterprise backbone infrastructures.
