Aluminum Splice Cover for Fiber Optic Splices 30mm - Pack of 150

ANT Series Fiber Splice Protection Sleeves – Reliable Protection for Optical Connections

The ANT Series Fiber Splice Protection Sleeves are professional-grade solutions used in fiber optic technology, designed to provide durable and hermetic protection for spliced connections. With compact dimensions and high mechanical resistance, they are ideal for use in fiber optic closures, rack-mounted panels, and wall-mounted distribution boxes.

These sleeves are engineered to offer full protection for spliced optical fibers, with minimal size after crimping and a fast, user-friendly installation process. They also feature excellent climatic and thermal properties, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.

The product meets the highest quality standards, complying with TS 0338/96 Deutsche Telekom and EN 50411-3-3 (European Standard).

Key Features and Benefits

• Hermetic Splice Protection – Complete sealing against moisture, contaminants, and environmental factors.
• High Mechanical Resistance – Protection against crushing, stretching, and punctures.
• Minimal Optical Attenuation Impact – No additional signal loss caused by the sleeve.
• Fast and Easy Installation – Short assembly time with secure closure.
• Universal Compatibility – Suitable for use with a variety of fiber closures and distribution panels.
• RoHS Compliant – Safe for both users and the environment.

ANT Series Sleeve Construction Each sleeve consists of three essential components to ensure maximum protection and durability: • Aluminum Reinforcement Rod (0.3 mm) – Adds rigidity and protects against mechanical damage. • Butyl Rubber Adhesive Strips (0.3 mm) – Provide excellent adhesion and seal against moisture and contaminants. • Flexible Filling Compound – Surrounds the fiber, preventing air pockets and minimizing stress that could compromise the splice. During crimping, the optical fiber is fully embedded in the butyl mass, reducing tension and minimizing the risk of splice failure.

Technical Specifications

• Height after crimping: 3.2 mm ±0.1 mm
• Width after crimping: 1.2 mm ±0.1 mm
• Length after crimping: 30 mm ±0.5 mm
• Opening angle before crimping: 60° (+0/-5°)
• Intended use: Protection of fiber splices with diameter ≤ 250 µm
• Packaging: 150 pieces per box

Applications

ANT Series splice protection sleeves are used in various areas of fiber optic technology, including:

• Fiber Closures – Long-lasting, hermetically sealed splice protection.
• Patch Panels (Rack-Mount, Wall-Mount, etc.) – Secure and durable installation in telecom networks.
• Indoor & Outdoor Installations – Weather-resistant for versatile usage conditions.
