Abstract: This invention relates to a method of splicing fiber optic fiber and the protection needed to secure that splice. This invention presents a quick and reliable way for fiber technicians to create sturdy splices that exceed the strength of splices currently in use. It utilizes an inner and outer strength member that is new to the field of fiber optics. These strength members include an inner steel rod, housed within an inner shrink tube, which is thereby housed within an outer shrink tube. Once melted, this tube is slid inside of a brass crimp sleeve which provides sturdy protection for the spliced fiber.
