Overview
The FiberXP FOSP-40S Micro Fusion Splice Protective Sleeves are engineered for the reliable protection of 250-micron single fiber fusion splices. These sleeves utilize a high-quality, hot-melt fusion tube construction with an internal stainless-steel strength member, ensuring the splice point maintains its structural integrity and mechanical protection after the fusion process.
Designed for durability and performance in demanding field environments, these sleeves feature cross-linked polyolefin materials that offer excellent moisture resistance and optical transparency. They are specifically sized for standard 40mm applications, providing a balance of sufficient coverage and compact profile for high-density splice trays.
Key Features
-
Integrated Strength Member
Features a 39.5mm stainless-steel rod that provides rigid structural support to the fiber splice point, preventing damage from handling or movement. -
Hot-Melt Adhesive Inner Tube
Ensures a secure, moisture-proof seal between the fiber and the sleeve to protect against environmental degradation. -
Cross-Linked Polyolefin Construction
Offers high durability and long-term stability for splice protection in various network conditions. -
High Tensile Strength
Rated for 18MPa tensile strength, providing robust protection against mechanical stresses at the splice location. -
Optimal Flexibility
Features 700% elongation at break, allowing the sleeve to withstand physical strain without compromising the protected fiber. -
Transparent Material
Ensures clear visibility of the splice point, facilitating easier inspection during and after installation.
Applications
- Fiber optic network installation
- Fusion splicing of 250-micron single fibers
- Data center cabling infrastructure
- Telecommunications field repairs
