Overview
The TLC Indoor/Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable is a high-performance distribution cable designed for versatile installation environments. Featuring 48 singlemode fibers and Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber technology, this cable provides exceptional optical performance suitable for both indoor and outdoor data infrastructure.
Engineered for efficiency, the cable utilizes a dry, gel-free construction. This design allows for direct termination of connectors onto 900μm tight-buffered fibers, eliminating the need for complex breakout kits and reducing installation time and costs.
The cable features a durable, UV-resistant black jacket that offers protection against environmental hazards. While suitable for various indoor/outdoor applications, it is designed for use in conduit or innerduct when buried and is not intended for lashing applications.
