Optical fiber protection tube electro base FO-PTUB-60/1 — length 60 mm, outer diameter 2.8 mm

Optical fiber protection tube electro base FO-PTUB-60/1 is a rigid cylindrical sleeve 60 mm long with an outer diameter of 2.8 mm designed to protect fiber end faces and splices during installation and maintenance. The sleeve provides mechanical support and shields fiber terminations from bending, abrasion and incidental contact inside enclosures, splice trays and patch panels to help maintain signal integrity.

Advantages

The protection tube is made in a rigid format that resists compression and twisting while fitting standard fiber management spaces. Its 60 mm length gives extended coverage of spliced or terminated fiber sections and the 2.8 mm outer diameter allows compatibility with typical splice holders and routing pathways. The simple cylindrical design enables straightforward placement over fiber ends and splices without additional assembly tools.

Suitable for

• Protection of fiber end faces and splices in splice trays
• Use inside fiber optic enclosures and patch panels
• Mechanical protection during transport, installation and maintenance
• Applications where bend prevention and abrasion shielding are required

Key specifications

• Form factor: rigid cylindrical sleeve
• Length: 60 mm
• Outer diameter: 2.8 mm
• Primary function: mechanical protection of fiber ends and splices
• Typical installation environment: splice trays, enclosures, patch panels

How to use

Slide the protection tube over the fiber end or splice so that the area to be protected is fully covered by the sleeve. Position the tube within the designated holder or splice tray compartment and secure the fiber according to the enclosure or tray manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure that the fiber is not subject to excessive lateral force or sharp bends at the entry and exit points of the sleeve.

Usage recommendations

Handle the sleeve and fiber with clean hands or gloves to avoid contamination of end faces. Verify that the tube length and diameter suit the chosen splice holder or tray and avoid forcing the sleeve into undersized channels to prevent damage to the fiber.
