Fiber Optic - Optic Fibers

SPLICE KIT/SPLICE SLEEVE:
JACKET TO JACKET FIBERS

Project:
Type: Fiber Optic Splice Kit
Catalog Number: S-EL-EL, S-FC-FC, S-EL-FC, S-EL-LEF (Driver)-Fiber Size -WR Fibers; LSS-Fiber Size Splice Sleeve
System Component: Optical Fiber (LCPOF)

DESCRIPTION:

The kit includes a Splice Sleeve (LSS-fiber size, i.e., LSS-3 for 300 series; please specify fiber size when ordering) and one SC-2081 glue. The LOC-002 Optic Cutter must be ordered separately. The jacket-to-jacket splice kits provide the components necessary for field splicing all jacketed bondable fibers, including SEL, SFC, SFR Driver and LEF Driver. These splicing instructions are used for typical harness splicing. One LSS Splice Sleeve is included with kit. Splice Sleeves can be ordered separately. Splices should not be submerged in water.

Splicing Instructions:

STEP 1: With an optic cutter or new straight-edge blade, cut the ends of the fibers to be spliced to a clean 90° angle so that the ends will abut in a flush manner. Slip White Heat Shrink onto one side of fiber.

STEP 1A: For -WR jacketed fiber splices, carefully score and remove 2" of -WR jacket on outside of fiber end. Follow directions below.

STEP 2: Apply SC-2081 glue to the fiber jacket and immediately push half way into splicing sleeve just short of the hole in splice sleeve. Allow 2-3 minutes to dry.

STEP 3: Apply ample SC-2081 glue around jacket, inside sleeve AND to the fiber core. Immediately push into the sleeve abutting ends tightly together, forcing air and excess glue through center hole. Twist slightly and match cuts. Hold for 2-3 minutes. Allow splice to set and cure for 24 hours.

Note:

Un-spliced lengths of fibers are brighter than spliced lengths. However, at times, it may be necessary to incorporate a splice. These instructions offer this alternative.
