Overview
The FiberXP FOSP-25TS Mini Fusion Splice Protective Sleeves are designed for use with 250\\u00b5m to 900\\u00b5m single fibers. These sleeves provide a critical protective layer at fusion splice connection points, ensuring structural integrity and long-term protection for delicate fiber optics in various networking environments.
Constructed with cross-linked polyolefins and featuring an enhanced stainless-steel strength member, these sleeves are engineered for durability. The hot-melt fusion tube design ensures a moisture-proof seal, while the transparent housing allows for visual inspection during the installation process.
Key Features
-
Enhanced Structural Support
Features a 24.5mm stainless-steel rod to maintain fiber alignment and prevent bending at the splice point. -
Hot-Melt Adhesive
Provides a moisture-proof, secure seal that protects the fiber from environmental contaminants. -
High Tensile Strength
Delivers 18MPa tensile strength for long-term reliability in field installations. -
Elongation Performance
Boasts 700% elongation at break, accommodating minor fiber movement without failure. -
Compact Design
Measuring 25mm in length and 1.2mm in diameter, ideal for space-constrained splice trays. -
Visual Clarity
Transparent sleeve material facilitates easy inspection of the splice during and after heat shrinking.
Applications
- Fiber optic network installation
- Fusion splicing of 250\\u00b5m to 900\\u00b5m fibers
- Data center cabling infrastructure
- Telecommunications repair and maintenance

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum full shrinkage temperature?
The sleeves require a minimum temperature of 248\\u00b0F (120\\u00b0C) to fully shrink and encapsulate the fiber.
Are these sleeves suitable for ribbon fiber?
No, these are designed for single fiber applications (250\\u00b5m to 900\\u00b5m).
What is the primary function of the internal steel rod?
The stainless-steel rod provides mechanical rigidity to the splice point, preventing the fiber from bending or breaking at the junction.
Are these sleeves moisture-proof?
Yes, the internal hot-melt adhesive provides a moisture-proof seal once properly heated and shrunk.
What is the sleeve diameter after shrinking?
The diameter after fully shrinking is 1.9mm \\u00b10.1mm.
