  • Rejacketing a spliced fiber optic cable
    Patent number: 5093048
    Abstract: After fusion splicing of optical fibers, the splice area is positioned within a two-part transparent mold. Light-curable epoxy is injected into the mold and surrounds the splice area. A visible light source shines through the mold, which is preferably made of transparent plexiglass, thus allowing the epoxy to harden. The mold is opened and the rejacketed cable is removed. In order to ensure that the original jacket material at the cable ends does not separate from the epoxy rejacketing material, a heat-shrinkable tube may be installed over the rejacketed splice area.
