Silicon Valley, CA, USA
Overview
This TLC Indoor/Outdoor distribution cable is designed for environments requiring both flexibility and high-level protection. Featuring 24 singlemode fibers, this cable utilizes high-quality Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber, ensuring consistent performance for demanding network applications. The inclusion of Aluminum Interlocking Armor (AIA) provides superior crush resistance, making it an ideal choice for challenging indoor and outdoor installations where the cable may be subject to mechanical stress.
The cable is constructed with a plenum-rated jacket, meeting stringent fire safety requirements for air-handling spaces. Its gel-free design facilitates easier, cleaner, and more efficient terminations, as connectors can be applied directly to the 900μm tight-buffered fibers without the need for additional breakout kits. This construction streamlines installation processes and reduces overall deployment costs.
