Hubbell FRSHST401025 Fusion Splice Sleeves - 12 Fiber Ribbon

Overview

The Hubbell FRSHST401025 is a pack of 25 fusion splice protection sleeves designed for 12-fiber ribbon cables. These sleeves are critical for ensuring the mechanical integrity and environmental protection of fiber optic splices, particularly in backbone and distribution networks where reliability is paramount. Each sleeve provides a robust barrier against moisture, dust, and physical stress, maintaining signal quality over time.

Compatibility

These sleeves are specifically engineered for use with 12-fiber ribbon fiber optic cables. They are compatible with standard fiber optic fusion splicing equipment and are suitable for use in various termination and splice enclosures designed to house ribbon fiber configurations. Ensure your splicing equipment and enclosures are rated for ribbon fiber to achieve optimal results.

Installation Notes

Each sleeve requires a fusion splicer to heat and shrink it over the spliced fiber ribbon. Proper alignment of the ribbon fibers prior to splicing is essential. The sleeve must be slid onto the fiber ribbon before the splice is made. Once the splice is complete, the sleeve is centered over the splice point and heated according to the fusion splicer's instructions to ensure a secure, sealed connection. Avoid over-heating, which can damage the fibers.
