Built for Your Application
These fiber optic splice sleeves are built to meet the rigorous demands of fiber optic network installation and maintenance. The inclusion of the steel rod ensures that the splice remains undisturbed, even under mechanical strain or bending. The fusion splice is the most widely used method for connecting fiber optic cables, and these splice sleeves provide the essential protection required for a reliable connection. Whether you are working on a telecommunications, data center, or networking project, these splice sleeves help you maintain optimal performance by shielding the splice area from damage.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the steel rod in the splice sleeve?
The steel rod is included in the splice sleeve to provide extra reinforcement to the fusion splice. It prevents bending, breakage, or damage to the fiber optic splice during handling or installation.
Can I use these splice sleeves for ribbon splicing?
Yes, the 40mm Fiber Optic Ribbon Splice Sleeves are specifically designed for use in fiber optic ribbon splicing, providing the same protection as standard splice sleeves.
Are these splice sleeves suitable for outdoor use?
These splice sleeves are designed to protect fiber optic splices during installation and maintenance and are ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. However, they are not rated for extreme environmental conditions on their own. For outdoor installations, additional protection may be necessary.
Can I use these splice sleeves in existing fiber optic installations?
Yes, these splice sleeves are perfect for use in fiber optic repair and maintenance, protecting existing fusion splices and ensuring the durability of connections.
What lengths are available for these splice sleeves?
These splice sleeves come in two lengths: 40mm and 60mm. The 40mm version is standard for most splice types, while the 60mm version offers more space for larger or ribbon splices.
Are the splice sleeves compatible with all types of fiber optic cables?
Yes, these splice sleeves are compatible with most single-mode and multimode fiber optic cables. However, it is important to ensure that the sleeve size matches the specific splice type and cable used.
