Overview
The TLC Indoor/Outdoor distribution cable is designed for versatile deployment in both indoor and outdoor environments. Featuring 12-fiber singlmode 9/125um OS2 construction with Corning® SMF-28® Ultra fiber, this cable is engineered for high performance and reliability in demanding data and telecommunications networks. The cable includes aluminum interlocking armor, providing enhanced physical protection for rugged installation areas while maintaining flexibility.
The cable utilizes a gel-free, tight-buffered construction, allowing for direct connector termination onto the 900μm fibers without the need for expensive breakout kits. This design streamlines the installation process and reduces overall labor costs. It is suitable for riser-rated applications; however, when used in burial environments, it must be placed within appropriate conduit or innerduct.
