The following video demonstrates TE Connectivity's (NYSE: TEL) recently launched Thermal Adhesive Coated (TAC) fiber system, including use of the system's cordless, handheld fiber dispenser tool. When turned on, the device triggers the heat-activated microcable, enabling the fiber to bond continuously to the surface area as it is being applied. The TAC installation system employs 900 micron fiber cable with integrated adhesive to enable a fast, consistent method for installing fiber throughout a building with minimal visibility. TE notes that the portable fiber system can be used for any indoor installation, minimizing the installer’s equipment costs and speeding time on the premises.
