Overview
The FiberXP FOSP-40TS Mini Fusion Splice Protective Sleeves are designed for securing and protecting single fiber fusion splices. These sleeves are engineered for compatibility with 250-900 micron single fibers, ensuring a stable and protected connection point during fiber optic installation and maintenance.
Constructed with a hot-melt fusion tube, an enhanced stainless-steel rod, and cross-linked polyolefins, these sleeves provide mechanical strength and environmental protection. They are moisture-proof and designed for reliable optical transmission in various networking environments.
Key Features
-
Stainless-Steel Reinforcement
Features an enhanced 39.5mm x 0.7mm stainless-steel rod that provides structural rigidity to the splice point. -
Hot-Melt Design
Uses heat-activated tubing that creates a secure, moisture-proof seal around the fiber. -
Cross-Linked Polyolefin
Durable outer material that offers robust protection against physical stress. -
High Tensile Strength
Engineered with 18MPa tensile strength for long-term connection integrity. -
Excellent Elongation
Provides 700% elongation at break, allowing for flexibility without compromising the splice. -
Transparent Construction
Clear sleeve design allows for easy visual inspection of the fiber alignment and splice condition.
Applications
- Fiber optic network installation
- Fusion splicing of 250-900 micron single fibers
- Data center cabling
- Telecommunications infrastructure maintenance
