  • Can optical fiber be used without heat shrink tubing

    Can optical fiber be used without heat shrink tubing

    It's hard to imagine, but without heat shrink tubing for fiber optic cables, the luxuries of modern telecommunications might not be possible. Environmental factors and mechanical stress can cause damage and electrical interference, affecting the transmission of data. But, that's not always the best option. Heat shrink tubing offers a clean, semi-permanent way to seal and protect cable assemblies. However, the sealing method used inside these closures largely determines the long-term reliability of the fiber connection. Multimode? I always said you could tape or glue that shit together and it'd work. I have tested this theory. In general, fiber splice protective sleeves are made of cross-linked polyolefins, shrink tubes from heating, hot and melted tubes, and single stainless steel needles. After two fibers are precisely fused using a fusion splicer, the splice is fragile and needs protection from physical stress, moisture, dust, and other. When used in heat shrink tubing, this synthetic compound is highly resistant to chemicals and has an exceptionally low coefficient of friction, meaning that substances will slide off it very easily.
