Index Matching Gel
Reusable Fiber-to-Fiber Splice
This high-quality index matching gel may be used to couple optical signals into or out of optical fibers. It may also be used as a mode
stripping gel: when coated onto the fiber cladding, it will strip out the signal carried in the cladding. The gel is stable over a wide
temperature range, with a freezing point of -67C and a boiling point >416C.
These easy-to-use fiber-to-fiber splices
offer high performance (~0.2dB avg.
splice loss) in a reusable package. The
glass capillary alignment tube comes pre-
loaded with our index matching gel, shown above.
The fiber location within the glass capillary can be monitored through
a central viewport.
View Port allows clear
view of fiber ends
Collet clamps accept
250-900m jackets

For applications where a temporary fiber termination is desired, our Bare Fiber Terminator is the solution. It is reusable, and can be
easily cleaned out if the fiber breaks inside the connector by using clean out wires (WC100). This terminator is designed to
mechanically hold fibers in standard connectors, which are sold separately. See page 848 - 849 for available connectors.
