Overview
The TLC Indoor/Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable is a robust, distribution-style cabling solution designed for versatile deployment in both indoor and outdoor environments. Engineered with 48 singlemode fibers featuring Corning SMF-28 Ultra technology, this cable provides exceptional transmission performance and signal integrity.
Construction features include 900μm tight-buffered fibers protected by water-blocking aramid yarn strength members. The assembly is housed within a durable, UV-resistant black jacket that is Riser-rated, offering high protection during installation and in demanding, rugged use scenarios. The inclusion of aluminum interlocking armor adds significant crush resistance without sacrificing flexibility.
This cable facilitates efficient on-site termination, as the tight-buffered fibers can be terminated directly with connectors, eliminating the need for complex break-out kits. This design choice simplifies installation processes and reduces overall project costs. Note that for direct burial applications, this cable must be placed within appropriate conduit or innerduct and is not suitable for lashing applications.
