Overview
The Light Connection (TLC) Ribbon Cable is an industrial-grade fiber optic solution designed for high-density environments. This 12-fiber multimode cable features a 62.5/125μm core, utilizing Infinicor300 fiber optimized for reliable performance in local area networks and data center backbones.
Constructed with an aramid strength member for mechanical reinforcement, the cable is encased in a plenum-rated outer jacket, making it suitable for air handling spaces. The ribbon design allows for rapid mass fusion splicing, significantly reducing installation time compared to loose-tube alternatives. All materials are compliant with RoHS and REACH standards for environmental safety.
