Overview
The FiberXP FOSP-60M Standard Fusion Splice Protective Sleeves are designed for securing and protecting single fiber connections. Specifically engineered for 250-900 micron fibers, these sleeves provide a robust mechanical shield at critical connection points, ensuring long-term stability and fiber protection in various field environments.
Constructed with a hot-melt fusion tube and an enhanced stainless-steel strength member, these sleeves are built for durability and ease of use. The cross-linked polyolefin material ensures a moisture-proof seal while maintaining excellent optical transmission. They are an essential consumable for technicians performing fusion splicing, offering a balance of protection and structural integrity.
