Overview
The AFL FP-60 series fusion splice sleeves are precision-engineered to provide robust and durable protection for single fiber fusion splices. These 60mm sleeves are specifically designed to safeguard sensitive splice points, ensuring long-term integrity in demanding network environments.
Constructed with a high-quality polyolefin-based outer tube and an ethylene-vinyl acetate inner tube, these sleeves provide a secure, environmental seal. An integrated stainless-steel strength member maintains fiber alignment and prevents physical damage. Designed for versatility, they accommodate both 250-µm and 900-µm fiber types, making them a standard requirement for field and data center splicing applications.
Key Features
-
Durable Construction
Features a polyolefin outer tube and ethylene-vinyl acetate inner tube to ensure a secure, moisture-resistant seal. -
Integrated Strength Member
Utilizes a stainless-steel rod to protect the fusion splice from physical stress and bending. -
Universal Fiber Compatibility
Designed to work seamlessly with both 250-µm and 900-µm single fiber configurations. -
Optimized Length
60mm length provides extensive coverage for secure handling and mounting in splice trays. -
Clear Design
Transparent materials allow for visual inspection of the fiber splice after the heating process. -
Standardized Fit
After-shrink diameter of 3.1mm (max) ensures compatibility with industry-standard splice protection trays.
Applications
- Telecommunications fiber network installations
- Data center fiber management
- FTTH (Fiber to the Home) deployments
- Enterprise LAN/WAN infrastructure

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these sleeves suitable for ribbon fiber?
No, these are single fiber protection sleeves and are not designed for ribbon fiber arrays.
Do these sleeves require a specific heater?
They are designed to be used with standard fusion splicer ovens that support 60mm sleeves.
What is the primary material of the outer tube?
The outer tube is composed of a polyolefin-based material derived from polyethylene.
Can these be used with 900-µm tight buffered fiber?
Yes, they are explicitly compatible with both 250-µm and 900-µm fiber types.
Is the storage temperature range critical?
Yes, maintaining the specified storage temperature ensures the adhesive integrity of the inner tube remains within operational specifications.
