The function of heat shrink tubing for bare optical fiber
The heat shrink tube is slid over the connector or splice, and then it is heated to shrink the tube tightly around the connector or splice. This creates a strong, protective seal that prevents moisture, dust, and other contaminants from entering the connector or splice. This specialized tubing is designed to protect and secure optical fibers, providing a durable and reliable layer that can withstand the harsh environments commonly encountered in telecommunications. Fiber optic cables are intricate assemblies of glass or plastic fibers used to transmit data via pulses of light.
