Universal Fiber Splice Clamp Kit; 2/3mm, 900um - SLA Version

Overview

The Universal Fiber Splice Clamp Kit is an essential tool designed to maintain fiber stability during fusion splicing. Its primary purpose is to secure optical fiber to prevent the common issue of pistoning, where the fiber retracts or moves inside its buffer or cable jacket during the delicate splicing process.

This kit features a versatile design that accommodates multiple fiber types, ensuring compatibility with standard industry configurations. By stabilizing the fiber within 12 inches of the termination point, it provides the reliability needed for consistent, high-quality fusion splices in both field and lab environments.

Key Features

• Fiber Stabilization
  Prevents optical fiber from pistoning inside the buffer or cable jacket during fusion splicing.
• Universal Compatibility
  Includes specialized sliders for 900um loose buffer, 2mm jacket, and 3mm jacket configurations.
• Versatile Application
  Essential for ensuring precise alignment in various fusion splicing workflows.
• Simple Attachment
  Designed for quick and easy installation on the fiber within 12 inches of the end.
• Comprehensive Kit
