Splice Protection
Thermal splices are the standard technology for the permanent connection of optical fibers. They are reliable and cost-efficient for single connections and thus widely used. A safe protection of the splice location from mechanic and climatic strain guarantees – in addition to quality – a long service life of the splice connection.
Splice protection is particularly challenging:
- for isolating the splice location from tensile stress,
- for protecting stripped areas from penetrating liquids, and
- for large temperature ranges, in particular in the field.
FOC offers a broad range of different fusion splice protections.
