Fiber Optic Splice Sleeve was developed to protect and strengthen fusion splices on fiber optic cables. The Fiber Optic Splice Sleeve intends to protect (mechanically) fiber optic splices. The Fiber Optic Splice Sleeve is built from shrinkable plastic tube with metal cylinder inside. The fibers are inserted before splicing into the plastic tube. After making the splice, the shrinkable tube is heated and shrunk on the splice. It can protect the spliced fiber from being break down and unwanted bending and is coated with the plastic tube. It gives to the installer flexibility while using the spliced fibers during installation
