- Slide heat shrink wrap through one end of the fiber optic cable to prepare for the fusion splicing process. This ensures proper insulation and protection for the spliced area
A fiber optic heat shrink tube is used for reinforcing the splice connection. Insert the heat shrink tubing before stripping, and forbid inserting it after end-face preparation.
