| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a process for encapsulating an optical component for the interconnection of optical fibers, in which the component is inserted into a protective envelope having at least one open side, a hardenable embedding product is applied to attach the component into the envelope and to close the open side(s) of the envelope, and the embedding product is then hardened, characterized in that the embedding product is a cross-linkable polymeric composition, which is non-flowing in the absence of shearing stresses, but which becomes flowing when submitted to shearing stress, and which presents, after cross-linking, a Shore A hardness of at least 30 and a water re-absorption at saturation point lower than 2 weight %, and also characterized in that the embedding product is submitted, while being applied, to shearing stresses likely to bring it into a flowing state. |
