Overview
The TLC Indoor/Outdoor distribution cable is designed for high-performance network environments requiring robust protection. This 12-fiber, singlemode 9/125um OS2 cable features Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber, providing low-loss connectivity suitable for demanding data center and building backbone applications.
Engineered for versatility, the cable includes aluminum interlocking armor, offering superior crush resistance for rugged use or high-traffic areas. The plenum-rated, UV-resistant black jacket ensures compliance with indoor fire safety standards while allowing for extended transitions into outdoor environments. The gel-free, tight-buffered construction enables direct termination of connectors onto 900um fibers without the need for complex breakout kits, streamlining the installation process.
