Overview
The TLC Indoor/Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable is a robust, gel-free distribution-style cable designed for versatility in both indoor and outdoor environments. Featuring 6 fibers with a 62.5/125um OM1 core, this cable is engineered for high-performance data transmission and long-term durability.
The construction incorporates aluminum interlocking armor, which provides superior mechanical protection against crushing and impact during installation and in demanding, high-traffic areas. The plenum-rated, UV-resistant black jacket ensures compliance with stringent fire safety codes while maintaining integrity against outdoor environmental stressors.
Key Features
-
Aluminum Interlocking Armor
Provides exceptional mechanical protection for the internal fibers, shielding them from crushing and accidental damage in rugged environments. -
Gel-Free Construction
Eliminates the need for messy cleaning during termination, significantly reducing installation time and lowering labor costs. -
Direct Termination
Designed for termination directly onto 900μm tight-buffered fibers without requiring complex breakout kits. -
Indoor/Outdoor Rating
Flexible design allows for seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor network segments without changing cable types. -
Tight-Buffered Fibers
The 900μm tight-buffered design offers robust fiber protection, making it ideal for standard fiber optic connectors. -
Plenum Rated
Meeting strict fire safety standards, this cable is safe for use in air-handling spaces like drop ceilings and raised floors. -
Water-Blocking Aramid Yarn
Integrated strength members provide tensile support and prevent moisture migration into the cable core.
Applications
- Data Center Interconnects
- Campus Backbone Cabling
- LAN/WAN Premises Networks
- Security and Surveillance Systems
- Intra-building Network Backbone
