Heat shrink tube DeLOCK Fiber optic splice protection 86838

The DeLOCK Fiber optic heat shrink splice protection 86838 is designed to protect fiber optic splice connections from mechanical damage and environmental influences. Each transparent tube is 40 mm long and the pack contains 10 pieces, providing clear visibility of the splice and enough units for multiple installations.

Advantages

The heat-shrink design forms a tight, reliable enclosure around the fibre when heated, offering resistance to high temperatures and additional mechanical support for the splice area. Transparent material allows visual inspection of the splice without removing protection.

Suitable for

• Protecting single-fibre splice joints in patch panels and closures
• Field splicing and outdoor installations where environmental protection is required
• Laboratory and workshop use for fibre optic assembly and repairs

Key specifications

How to use

Slide a tube over the fibre ends before splicing, perform the fibre splice according to standard procedures, then center the splice within the tube. Apply controlled heat (for example with a heat gun or shrink oven) until the tube shrinks and fully encloses the splice, ensuring it is sealed and mechanically supported.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a heat source with adjustable temperature and apply heat evenly to avoid fibre or coating damage. Allow the splice protection to cool before handling and store unused tubes in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
