Overview
The TLC Micro-Distribution Cable features a 2-fiber, 50/125um multimode OM4 configuration designed for high-density networking environments. Engineered with bend-insensitive ClearCurve fiber, this cable provides enhanced reliability in tight spaces and complex routing scenarios.
This cable is constructed with a plenum-rated jacket, making it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces (plenums) within data centers and office buildings. The micro-distribution design includes 2mm subunits, facilitating efficient cable management and easier termination during installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Plenum rating mean?
Plenum rating indicates that the cable jacket is constructed from flame-retardant materials, allowing it to be installed in air-handling spaces without the need for conduit.
Is this cable compatible with standard OM4 equipment?
Yes, it is fully compatible with standard 50/125um OM4 transceivers and patch panels.
Why is ClearCurve fiber used?
ClearCurve fiber is bend-insensitive, which significantly reduces the risk of signal attenuation caused by sharp bends or tight installation conditions.
Can this cable be used outdoors?
No, this cable is specifically designed for indoor plenum environments and is not rated for outdoor or buried applications.
What is the benefit of the 2mm subunit?
The 2mm subunits protect individual fibers and simplify the stripping and termination process during installation.
