UVC Optical Splice (accepts 125-140 microns fiber)

The Norland UVC Optical Splice is the first really easy to use, high performance connection for optical fibers. This splice incorporates a precision TRW glass alignment guide and a proactive glass sleeve in a unique one piece design that minimizes handling of bare fiber. Everything has been carefully engineered into this compact 1.5″ glass tube. Just fill with Norland Optical Adhesive, insert fibers and cure for a sturdy, ready to handle splice in minutes. The wide mouth entrance of the splice makes it easy to insert fibers. This versatile design feature also allows the one splice to accommodate all types of fiber with any size buffer coating up to 1mm. in diameter. The fibers easily slide into the central glass guide and automatically align with pinpoint accuracy. The all glass construction provides the perfect thermal match for optical fibers and assures long stability over a wide range of temperatures.
