Overview
The TLC Indoor/Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable is a robust, distribution-style cable designed for versatile deployment in both indoor and outdoor environments. Engineered with 6 multimode 50/125µm (OM4) fibers, this cable utilizes high-performance glass to support high-bandwidth applications. Its distribution construction makes it flexible, easy to handle, and efficient to install in various networking projects.
The cable features 900µm tight-buffered fibers, which allow for direct termination of connectors without the need for additional breakout kits, significantly simplifying the installation process and reducing costs. Protected by water-blocking aramid yarn strength members and a durable, UV-resistant black jacket, this cable is suitable for use in riser-rated environments. Please note that for burial applications, the cable must be placed within a conduit or innerduct and is not suitable for lashing.
