Ribbon Protection Sleeves with Double Ceramic Strength Member for Fiber Protection Fusion Splice Sleeve

Rribbon Protection Sleeves with Double Ceramic Strength Member for Fiber Protection Fusion Splice Sleeve

Brief Introduction :

Generally speaking, Hicorpwell fiber optic sleeve consists of three parts. The first part is the inner tube made by hot-meltable adhesive. This material can encapsulate the fusion splice joint and provides vibration damping and an environmental seal so as to protect the fiber from damage and contaminants. The second part is a reinforcing strength member outside the inner tube.

The strength member can be made of stainless steel, ceramic or non-metallic. It offers extra rigidity to prevent misalignment, micro bending or breakage of the fiber. The third part is the heat-shrinkable outer tube made of cross-linked polyolefin. This tube provides an instant shrink-force and drives the adhesive liner into all areas of the splice and excludes all the air. The following picture shows the structure of a fiber protection sleeve.

Two Types of Fiber Protection Sleeve

This kind of protection sleeve is used for Single Mode Fiber. Its strength member adopts the stainless steel needles to reduce fiber damage. Typical lengths are 40 mm and 60 mm. The sleeve color is selective, but most people would choose the transparent tube for better inspection of the fiber status.

Ribbon Fiber Protection Sleeve

The ribbon type is to protect ribbon splices of multiple fiber counts. The ceramic strength member is used to supporting the splices. Fiber counts in a ribbon sleeve vary from 2 to 12 fibers. The length of the sleeve is usually 40 mm. If stronger protection is required, you can choose the ribbon protection sleeves with double ceramic strength members.
