Fiber Optic - Optic Fibers

SPLICE KIT/SPLICE SLEEVE:
NON-JACKET TO NON-JACKET FIBERS

Project:
Type: Fiber Optic Splice Kit
Catalog Number: S-WN-WN-Fiber Size; WNSS-Fiber Size Splice Sleeve
System Component: Optical Fiber (LCPOF)

DESCRIPTION:

The S-WN-WN splice kit provides the components necessary for field splicing non-jacketed fibers. The kit includes one splice sleeve and one piece of White Heat Shrink. Please specify fiber size when ordering (WNSS sleeves can be ordered separately. WNSS-fiber size, i.e., WNSS-4 for 400 series). The LOC-002 Optic Cutter must be ordered separately.

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 2: Push the ends of the fiber together so they contact each other about halfway into the splice sleeve.

STEP 3: Heat entire sleeve with heat gun to shrink sleeve tightly around the fibers while holding the fibers tightly together to so the cut faces remain in contact with each other.

STEP 4: Center White Heat Shrink over the splice sleeve and shrink it tightly. Allow to set and cure for 24 hours. Handle spliced fibers with care.

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.
