In-line fiber optic splice protective device

摘要

An in-line protection device for protecting fiber optic splices is disclosed. The device includes a rigid body having a central section with an opening sized to receive and house a fiber optic splice between two optical fibers from two fiber optic cables and an end portion having open ends to receive the optical fiber from the fiber optic cable. The fiber optic cables are connected to the rigid body by crimping a sleeve onto the cable and the end portion of the body. A strain relief device is placed over the end portion of the body and fiber optic cable to provide strain relief at either end of the splice protector.
