What is a fiber splice protection sleeve?

Description:

The Fiber Splice Protection Sleeve is a protective optical fiber splicing component composed of a special cross-linked polyolefin and a hot melt tube and a strengthen menber. Fusion splicing is a process where two optical fibers are aligned and then joined together by holt melting the optical glass in a controlled manner. Once this is completed, the splice provides an almost 0dB loss connection. The fiber splice protection sleeve was created to protect a spliced fiber and must be installed on the fiber before the fusion splice is performed.

Types of Fiber Splice Protection Sleeves:

1. Single Fiber Optic Sleeves. As its name suggests, it’s designed for single fiber splicing protection application.
