Televes 232701 Heat Shrink Splice Protector for Fiber Optic Splicing, 43 mm, Single Fiber

Fiber optic splices are fragile and need protection from mechanical stress and environmental factors. The Televes 232701 heat shrink splice protector provides a reliable solution, ensuring the splice remains intact and performs optimally over time.

Who is it for

This splice protector is ideal for fiber optic technicians and network installers who perform single fiber fusion splicing in FTTH, data center, or enterprise network environments. It is suitable for use with standard 250 µm coated fibers and protects the splice joint in splice closures, trays, or distribution boxes.
