What's special about these wire splice sleeves?
AFL Telecommunications offers a wide selection of fiber protection sleeves to meet any application, such as field, factory or laboratory splicing. The FP-03 series is the industry standard for protecting single fiber splices in field installations. More |
Open ended assembly minimizes the possibility of air being trapped inside the tube during shrinkage
This easy and cost effective method is a great alternative to recoating your fiber optic cables. The standard 40mm and 60mm lengths are readily available, however custom sleeves to accommodate various coating sizes and a variety of lengths are available.
- Fusion splice sleeves are transparent in color, so it is easy to view the joint point inside
- FP-03 Series represents the industry's most popular sleeve due to its robust design and user friendly size
- Sealing structure provides good performance for splicing in environments with varying temperatures and humidity levels
- Provides dependable protection to fiber optic splicing to ensure your network runs at optimal speed
- Full length stainless steel strength member provides performance protection to the delicate fiber splices
- Tubes are clear so you can view the color of the fiber after splicing
- FP-03 Series sleeves used for single fibers up to 900 microns
- Operating temperature from -10° to 50° C
- RoHS and SVHC Compliant
- Outer tube meets SAE AMS-DTL-23053/5 Class 2
- 18-month manufacturer's warranty
Fusion Splicing has many advantages as explained below:
- Fusion splicing is very compact
- Fusion splicing has the lowest insertion loss
- Fusion splicing has the lowest back reflection (optical return loss ORL)
- Fusion splicing has the highest mechanical strength
- Fusion splicing is permanent
- Fusion splicing can withstand extreme high temperature changes
- Fusion splicing prevents dust and other contaminants from entering the optical path
