Fiber Optic - Optic Fibers

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

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

DESCRIPTION:

The jacket to non-jacket splice kit provides the components necessary for field splicing all bondable jacket to non-jacket fibers. The kit includes one splicing sleeve (WNSSfibersize, i.e., WNSS for 200 series) and one piece of White Heat Shrink. Please specify fiber size when ordering. The LOC-002 Optic Cutter must be ordered separately.

Splicing Instructions:

WNSS sleeves may be ordered separately. These splicing instructions are also used for typical harness splicing to SWN type fiber.

STEP 1: With an optic cutter, score a fine line around the black jacket of the SEL fiber, approximately 1.5" (38.1 mm) from the ends to be spliced. Do not nick or cut Teflon® cladding. Flex the fiber back and forth until the jacket breaks and remove.

STEP 2: With the optic cutter, cut the ends of the fibers to be spliced at clean 90° angles so that the ends will abut in a flush manner. Slip White Heat Shrink piece onto one fiber section.

STEP 3: Push the ends of the fiber together so they contact each other about halfway into the splice sleeve.

STEP 4: 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 5: Center White Heat Shrink over the splice sleve 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.
