Abstract
An optical fiber splice protector is provided which includes a first tube being substantially hollow and being locatable along a portion of the length of at least one optical fiber, the portion including a bare optical fiber section of the optical fiber. A longitudinal support is also locatable along the portion of the length of the optical fiber that includes the bare optical fiber splice section of the optical fiber, the longitudinal support being enclosable by the first tube along the length of the optical fiber. The first tube is of high temperature resistant material that is resistant to temperatures above 125 degrees Celsius.
