Home / How long should the fiber optic splice sheath be
The length of the cable sheath to be removed will depend on local company practices and termination equipment. Without proper protection, fiber splices face multiple long-term risks: A fiber optic splice closure creates a controlled protective environment for these spliced fibers. Its role is not only to enclose the splice, but to ensure that optical performance remains stable throughout years of operation. Depending on the outer jacket construction and fiber count, cables often need to exit the outer s eath or jacket and be presented to the splicing device at a sub-uniti d level.
