Overview
The FiberXP FOSP-40A Slim Fusion Splice Protective Sleeves are designed for securing and protecting single fiber connections. Engineered for compatibility with 250μm to 900μm single fibers, these sleeves incorporate a hot-melt fusion tube and an enhanced stainless-steel strength member to ensure durability and signal integrity at the splice point.
These 40mm sleeves feature a cross-linked polyolefin construction, offering moisture-proof protection and robust mechanical support. Designed for ease of use in professional field splicing, they provide reliable performance across standard telecommunications operating environments.
Key Features
-
Slim Profile Design
Features a 1.4mm diameter for high-density splice tray applications, saving valuable space in enclosures. -
Enhanced Strength Member
Equipped with a 36mm stainless-steel rod, providing consistent rigidity and fiber alignment. -
Moisture-Proof Protection
Transparent, cross-linked polyolefin construction prevents environmental degradation of the splice point. -
High Tensile Strength
Engineered with 18MPa tensile strength to ensure the protective sleeve remains intact during routing and cable management. -
Elongation at Break
Features 700% elongation at break, providing sufficient flexibility during installation to prevent fiber breakage. -
Controlled Shrinkage
Minimum shrinkage temperature of 176°F (80°C) and full shrinkage at 248°F (120°C) for efficient installation.
Applications
- Fusion splicing of 250μm and 900μm single optical fibers
- Fiber optic patch panel and enclosure management
- Field fiber repairs and terminations
- Telecommunications and data center infrastructure

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these sleeves compatible with 900μm tight-buffered fiber?
Yes, they are designed to accommodate 250μm to 900μm single fibers.
What is the purpose of the stainless steel rod?
The rod provides rigidity to the splice point, preventing the fiber from bending or breaking at the fusion joint.
Can I use a standard fusion splicer heating oven for these?
Yes, these sleeves are designed for standard fusion splicer thermal shrink ovens set to the required temperature.
What does the 'A' suffix denote in the model number?
It indicates the 'Slim' series variant, which utilizes a 1.4mm diameter for high-density applications.
Are these moisture-proof?
Yes, the construction provides a moisture-proof seal over the fiber splice point.
