Fiber Optic Fusion Splice Protection Sleeves L-40mm D-1,2mm clear

Product description
[Fiber optic fusion splice protection sleeve - MINI - Series V15] V12 MICRO series sleeves were constructed to meet the requirements of companies producing WDM, CWDM and DWDM mini-modules, splitters etc. to protect splices of optical elements. They are used where very little space for assembly is available. Small size and quickness of assembly are the main advantages of this solution. Excellent climatic and thermal properties make it ideal for use in closed as well as open spaces. The main goals during design phase were: full protection of the fiber optic splices, small size after recovery and short assembly time. Initial shrinking of the outer tube was taken into account during the production process to reduce the gap between the tubes. This protects the internal tube and Pin from falling out as well as facilitates entering the optical fiber to hole. The final product is checked to meet the requirements set by the GR-1380-CORE standard of Telcordia Technologies Inc and ZN-96TPSA-006 standard of Polish Telecommunications. The sleeves we produce offer full protections the fiber optic splices. They do not cause additional insert losses, and they offer protection against mechanical damage, pollution and weather conditions.

V12 series is characterized by small external diameter (D=1.2mm after recovery), reduced length (the shortest L=10mm), quickness of assembly (below 60s). The sleeves consists of a 0.5mm diameter Pin, a thin external tube, and an internal tube with a 0.35mm hole. Such a solution enables using sleeves to protect fibers with a 250um cover. The internal tube is made from special material with good adhesion to many materials and low solubility in water. It changes its consistency to semi-liquid in growth temperatures. It enables to eliminate air bubbles through filling up the spaces between external tube, the Pin and fiber optic cable. The Pin that stiffens the splice is made from steel with heat extensibility indicator identical to that of optic fiber. This prevents from longitudinal stresses on the splice during heating process. Longitudinal stresses of the splice influence on growth a insert loss and a reflection loss. In extreme cases they may cause breaking the connection, which makes it necessary to repeat the splice procedure. External tube material guarantees sustainability and resistance to stretching and puncture. It offers optimal air permeability, high gloss and smooth surface.

The standard sleeves are made in clear color. Other color available on request.
