Product code: V28-L-XX
V28 fiber optic splice protectors for 250 and 900 μm coated fibers
V28 fiber optic splice protectors are heat-shrink sleeves for 250 μm and 900 μm coated fibers. With a 2.8 mm recovered diameter and lengths from 20 to 61 mm, they suit splice trays, fiber optic closures, FTTH networks, and high-density installations. The reinforcing pin protects the fusion splice against mechanical damage, moisture, and contamination.
Made in EU
V-Protect fiber optic splice protectors are manufactured in Poland. European origin, in-house production, and direct process control allow us to ensure consistency, flexibility, and fast product customization for OEM customers and integrators.

DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
V28 fiber optic splice protectors were developed for telecommunications installations with a high density of connections. Their compact recovered diameter, broad range of lengths, and compatibility with 250 μm or 900 μm coated fibers make the series suitable for splice trays, closures, distribution frames, and fiber optic equipment. The construction protects the splice against mechanical damage, contamination, and climatic conditions without introducing additional optical power loss.
The V28 Series has a recovered outer diameter of 2.8 mm and is available in lengths from 20 to 61 mm. Each protector consists of a 1 mm reinforcing pin, a thin-wall outer tube, and an inner tube with a 1.4 mm opening. The hot-melt inner layer fills the space around the fiber and pin, reducing the risk of air bubbles. The steel pin stiffens the connection and helps protect the splice against longitudinal stress during shrinking. Products are checked against the requirements of EN 50411-3-3 and ZN-96 TPSA-006.
