Fiber optic heat shrink tubing 60mm

60mm fiber optic heat shrink tubing is designed to protect fusion splices, maintain optical transmission, and provide mechanical strength using 304 stainless steel and cross-linked polyolefin.Key FeaturesMaterial and Construction: These tubes typically consist of a 304-grade stainless steel rod, a hot fusion heat shrink tubing, and cross-linked polyolefin. This combination provides mechanical strength at the fusion joint, protects the fiber coating, and maintains optical transmission properties . The stainless steel is polished and burr-free to prevent fiber damage during installation . Dimensions: Standard 60mm length tubing usually has an inner diameter around 1.3mm and an outer diameter around 2.6mm, suitable for most single-fiber splicing applications . The length ensures full coverage of the splice area. Temperature and Environmental Resistance: The tubing can operate in temperatures from -45°C to +100°C, with a minimum full recovery temperature of 120°C. It is resistant to moisture, corrosion, heat shocks, and UV exposure, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor installations, including coastal environments . Installation and Protection: The clear sleeve allows easy detection of the splice before shrinking. The heat shrink tubing locks at both ends, preventing the steel rod from falling out and ensuring a secure, stable connection. This design minimizes the risk of fiber breakage and signal loss during fusion splicing . The airproof configuration also provides humidity and temperature resistance at the splice point. Applications: Ideal for fiber optic fusion splicing, these tubes are compatible with various fiber optic systems, including FTTH (Fiber to the Home) installations. They are widely used by professionals to reinforce splices, protect fibers, and extend service life . Package Options: Many suppliers offer kits containing 100 pieces of 60mm heat shrink tubing, providing sufficient quantity for multiple splicing projects .Summary60mm fiber optic heat shrink tubing is a durable, high-performance solution for protecting fiber splices. Its combination of stainless steel reinforcement, polyolefin heat shrink, and clear sleeve design ensures mechanical strength, optical integrity, and environmental protection, making it suitable for professional fiber optic installations .
