Showing Results For: Heat Shrink Boots
Heat shrink boots, also called heat shrink tubing or sleeves, are critical accessories used in fibre optic cable management, specifically when dealing with splices or exposed fibres. Moreover, they are essentially tubes made of a unique plastic material that shrinks in diameter when heated. This shrinking mechanism ensures a tight, protective seal around the covered area.
Heat shrink boots’ primary function is to safeguard sensitive optic splices or exposed fibres from environmental conditions such as moisture, dust, and physical damage. They efficiently add mechanical strength to the splice point, avoiding the bending or breaking of the fibres. In several cases, they can also ensure electrical insulation if the fibre optic cable contains metallic components.
