Fiber Optic Cable Heat Shrink Tube Splicing Method

Home / Fiber Optic Cable Heat Shrink Tube Splicing Method

Heat-shrink fiber optic splice closure uses a material that shrinks when heated to form a tight seal around the fiber optic cable, protecting the splice point from moisture, dust, and mechanical damage. There are 7 procedures to perform in the splicing process; roughly in the following order: Procedures 2 and 3 will be performed twice; once for each of the two cables. However, one side will need to have more outer jacket stripped off to make room for the shrink sleeve; to move it out of the. This specialized tubing is designed to protect and secure optical fibers, providing a durable and reliable layer that can. Corning Cable Systems offers a variety of splice protection choices to meet your needs.
