PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

VMF Mini FLEX Series fiber optic splice protectors have found their place in the production of laser modules, In-Line attenuators, Mode Conditioning Patchcords (MCP), etc. In order to reduce the diameter of the sheath after shrinking, the reinforcing wire has been omitted. The thickened wall of the outer jacket and the outer tube is responsible for stiffening the connection. They are used wherever there is limited installation space. Small size and flexible connection are the main advantages of this solution. Excellent climatic and thermal properties predispose them for use both in closed and open spaces. At the design stage, the main objectives were: full protection of the welded optical fibres and small size after shrinking. In the production process, attention has also been paid to the initial shrinking of the sheath so as to eliminate the gap between the coatings. This protects the sheath against the loss of the inner coating and facilitates the insertion of the optical fibre. The final product is checked to meet the requirements set by the EN 50411-3-3 European Standard and GR-1380-CORE American Standard and ZN-96TPSA-006 standard of Polish Telecommunications. The sleeves we produce offer full protection to the fiber optic splices. They do not cause additional insert losses, and they offer protection against mechanical damage, pollution and weather conditions.

The VMF series is characterised by a small outer diameter (after shrinking D=1.2mm) and reduced length (the shortest L=10mm). The structure of the sheath consist of: an outer sheath with thickened wall and an inner sheath with a 0.5 mm opening. The protectors are dedicated to primary coated 250µm (fiber). The internal tube is made from special material with good adhesion to many materials and low solubility in water. It changes its consistency to semi-liquid in growth temperatures. This enables the space between the inner wall of the outer sheath and the optical fibre to be thoroughly filled, eliminating the formation of air bubbles. The outer sheath material guarantees durability as well as tensile and puncture resistance. It is characterised by optimum air permeability, high gloss and a smooth surface.
