Overview
The FiberXP FOSP-60A Slim Fusion Splice Protective Sleeves are designed for use with 250-900 micron single fiber applications. These sleeves protect fiber connection points by providing mechanical support and environmental sealing, ensuring consistent signal transmission through the splice point.
Constructed with a 60mm hot-melt fusion tube, an enhanced 56mm stainless-steel strength member, and cross-linked polyolefins, these sleeves are engineered for durability. They are moisture-proof and provide a stable, transparent covering for fusion splices in various network environments.
Key Features
-
Slim Profile
Features a 1.4mm diameter for high-density splice tray compatibility. -
Enhanced Strength Member
Includes a 56mm stainless-steel rod to maintain fiber alignment and prevent breakage. -
Hot-Melt Adhesive
Ensures a secure, moisture-proof seal between the fiber and the sleeve. -
High Tensile Strength
Rated for 18MPa tensile strength to protect the splice against mechanical stress. -
Elongation Resistance
Provides 700% elongation at break for increased flexibility and durability. -
Precise Shrinkage
Full shrinkage achieved at 248°F, resulting in a 2.4mm ±0.1mm diameter for a compact finish.
Applications
- Single fiber fusion splicing
- Fiber optic patch panels
- Fiber optic distribution frames
- Telecommunications and data center infrastructure
