- The optical fiber splice provides a precise, simple and low cost method of splicing optical fiber. The splice design utilizes an articulated metalic splicing element held inside a molded plastic body and cap to provide a fast, permanent, low-loss splice
- The Fibrlok has an insertion loss of <0.2dB with a minimum tensile load of 4.4N (1.0lb-f) and splice reflection no greater than -40dB
- During assembly, the splice is held within the Assembly Tool. After the fibers are inserted into the splice, the cap is depressed with the Assembly Tool. The motion of the cap squeezes the "legs" of the element such that the "legs" come together. The fibers are permanently aligned and gripped in the fiber holding region of the splice when the cap is actuated
