Thermal Adhesive Coated (TAC) Fiber System

TE Connectivity’s (TE) thermal adhesive coated (TAC) fiber system provides fast, flexible and nearly invisible installation of fiber cable within a home or business.

Utilizing a lightweight, portable handheld fiber tool and 900 micron fiber microcable with integrated adhesive, installers are able to quickly and easily install fiber around baseboard, windows and trim work.

When turned on, the handheld device triggers the heat-activated adhesive in the fiber – allowing the fiber to bond continously to the surface area as it is applied.
