Overview
The FiberXP FOSP-12RD Fusion Splice Protective Sleeves are engineered specifically for ribbon fiber applications. These sleeves utilize a combination of hot-melt fusion tubes and reinforced single ceramic rods, encased in cross-linked polyolefins to provide essential mechanical protection at splice connection points.
Designed for durability in demanding environments, these sleeves offer high resistance to temperature and humidity variations, ensuring consistent optical transmission. They are suitable for use in field fiber optic splicing operations where ribbon fiber integrity must be maintained.
