Why choose it

This splice protector offers excellent mechanical and environmental protection, ensuring long-term reliability of fusion splices. The stainless steel rod provides rigidity and strain relief, while the hot-melt adhesive seals the splice against moisture and contaminants. Its transparent design allows visual inspection of the splice before and after shrinking.

Ideal use cases

• Protecting fusion splices in fiber optic networks
• Field installations and repairs
• Workshop splicing for patch cords and pigtails
• Single-mode and multi-mode fiber applications

Good to know

The heat shrink process is easy and fast, requiring a standard heat shrink oven or heat gun. The splice protector is designed for use with standard fusion splice protection sleeves and is compatible with most fusion splicers.
