Overview
The TLC Indoor/Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable is a robust, gel-free distribution cable designed for versatile installation environments. With six 50/125um OM3 multimode fibers, this cable is engineered for high-speed data transmission in both indoor and outdoor settings, utilizing Riser-rated jacketing for increased safety.
This cable construction features 900µm tight-buffered fibers that allow for direct termination of connectors without the need for additional breakout kits, simplifying the installation process and reducing overall project costs. The inclusion of water-blocking aramid yarn and a durable, UV-resistant black outer jacket ensures protection during installation and long-term performance in rugged conditions.
