Overview
The TLC Indoor/Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable is a robust, high-performance solution designed for seamless connectivity in diverse operating environments. Featuring 6 fibers of ClearCurve multimode 50/125um OM3 glass, this cable is engineered for reliability in both indoor and outdoor spaces. Its plenum-rated construction ensures compliance with stringent fire safety standards while providing versatile deployment options for data centers, campus backbones, and enterprise networks.
Equipped with aluminum interlocking armor, this cable provides significant mechanical protection against crushing and impact during installation in challenging environments. The water-blocking aramid yarn strength members further enhance durability, protecting the optical core from moisture ingress and physical stress. Designed without internal gels, this cable allows for direct termination of connectors onto 900µm tight-buffered fibers, significantly reducing installation time and eliminating the need for expensive breakout kits.
