This fusion splice protection sleeve is durable, competitively priced and easy to install on fusion-spliced optical fibers without requiring heat, curing, crimping or gluing. No need to wait for heat ovens that often hold up splicing, or breaking a splice because the heat protection sleeve was not pre-threaded prior to splicing. The ULTRAsleeve® comprises two halves that fold along a hinge and is delivered in the open position, ready for fused fibers to be placed into the sleeve. Once the fibers are in the protection cover, the sleeve closes and locks. The locks keep the ULTRAsleeve® from opening and compress the Acrylic Foam to provide a hermetic seal. Conserve battery life on fusion splicers and use the ULTRAsleeve ® to extend splicing capability. Great for FTTX applications.

Why use a no-heat sleeve?

• Traditional sleeves may shrink unevenly or may not shrink completely on the first try, causing the operater to reheat the sleeve & take the risk of causing microbending on the edges where the steel rod ends and heat shrink extends.

• No expensive fixtures or purchase of additional heat ovens required to increase productivity.

• Extends the battery life of fusion splicers and saves time in quick 1-2 fiber splicing FTTX applications by not waiting for heat oven cycles.

• No worry about pre-threading the fibers, as ULTRAsleeve® is applied after fusion process.

• Protects against moisture with ULTRAsleeve® all dielectric construction.

• Available in 60mm or 40mm single-fiber protection sleeves.
