Abstract

The application provides an optical fiber splice with an adjustable sleeve, which comprises: a carrier, an optical fiber cable and an adjustable sleeve. The carrier has a first fixed end and a second fixed end along an optical fiber extension direction. The optical fiber cable has a cable part and an optical fiber outlet part. The optical fiber outlet part extends from the cable part and is fixed to the first fixed end. The adjustable sleeve is sleeved on the cable part. An outer peripheral surface of the adjustable sleeve is provided with a plurality of positioning features. Wherein in the optical fiber extension direction, the positions of the positioning features disposed on the adjustable sleeve are deviated from each other by a distance. One of the positioning features is fixed to the second fixed end.

Claims (11)
