Overview
The FiberXP FOSP-40M Standard Fusion Splice Protective Sleeves are engineered to provide essential mechanical protection and environmental sealing for fiber optic fusion splices. These 40mm sleeves are specifically designed for 250-micron to 900-micron single fiber applications, ensuring that connection points maintain structural integrity and optical performance.
Constructed with a hot-melt fusion tube and an enhanced stainless-steel strength member, these sleeves feature cross-linked polyolefin material. They are designed for reliability in standard fiber management environments, offering moisture resistance and high tensile strength to protect fragile fusion points during handling and long-term deployment.
Key Features
-
Hot-Melt Design
Features a hot-melt inner tube that ensures a secure, protective bond around the fusion splice. -
Stainless-Steel Rod
Includes a 36mm stainless-steel strength member for enhanced mechanical rigidity. -
Durable Construction
Manufactured with cross-linked polyolefins for environmental resistance. -
High Tensile Strength
Rated for 18MPa tensile strength to prevent splice breakage during cable management. -
Moisture Protection
Designed as a moisture-proof seal to prevent degradation of the optical connection. -
High Elongation
Provides 700% elongation at break, allowing for flexibility without compromising the splice.
Applications
- Fiber optic cable splicing
- 250-micron to 900-micron single fiber protection
- Fusion splicing environments
