Overview
The Light Connection (TLC) Ribbon Cable is a high-performance fiber optic solution designed for high-density environments. This 12-fiber multimode cable features 50/125um OM3 ClearCurve fiber, which is specifically engineered for improved macrobend performance in tight spaces and challenging installation routes.
Constructed with a durable PVC outer jacket and integrated aramid strength members, this cable is designed for Riser (OFNR) applications. It is ideal for internal building backbone installations, providing the necessary mechanical protection while maintaining industry-standard compatibility with common termination products and fan-out kits.
