Overview
The TLC Indoor/Outdoor distribution cable is engineered for versatility and durability in both campus and building-to-building network environments. Featuring 6 singlemode fibers with Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber, this cable is designed for applications where robust mechanical protection is required.
Construction includes water-blocking aramid yarn strength members and a rugged aluminum interlocking armor, ensuring the cable maintains its integrity in challenging installations. The cable is protected by a thick, UV-resistant jacket rated for Riser applications, allowing for safe deployment in indoor risers as well as outdoor transitions. Because it utilizes a gel-free design, installers can perform direct termination onto 900μm tight-buffered fibers, eliminating the need for complex breakout kits and reducing labor costs.
