Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0127673A1] A fiber optic splice recoat includes a flexible outer sleeve positioned over the splice area filled with a UV curable recoat material. The flexible outer sleeve is positioned over one of a pair of optical fibers to be spliced together. The glass fibers of the cables are spliced and the sleeve is positioned over the spliced area. The sleeve is filed with a UV curable recoat material and is subjected to UV energy to cure the recoat material. A fixture is provided for supporting the cables during the splice and recoat operations. The fixture is further provided with a handle to keep the positioning blocks spaced at a predetermined distance.
