PermLock™ Fiber Optic Mechanical Splicing Toolkit

The PermLock™ Fiber Optic Mechanical Splice is the latest technology for connecting two fibers easily and reliably without the use of fusion splicing. Designed for aerospace applications, it offers a hazard-free environment, the absence of spark, high voltage, and heat. Moreover, the glass-sealed splice offers low optical loss, wide-temperature operation, a 25-year service life, and a low cost of ownership. The patent-pending design enables fiber self-alignment with high repeatability. A “light-bridging” material fills the fiber gap for stable, ultra-low loss splicing. Optowares supplies a hand-held and battery-powered curing kit for quick and easy cleaving and splicing, even with polyimide coating fiber. PermLock™ Fiber Optic Splice has passed the most stringent aerospace qualifications. The splice has several outer-jacket options suited for various applications. This product is well suited for applications in aerospace, shipboard/submarine, mining, and communication networks, as well as field optical fiber repair and fiber-to-home installation.
