The Thorlabs' PTR306 fiber recoater with automatic recoat injector and linear proof tester offers easy, integrated solutions to recoat and test fusion-spliced fibers. The fiber recoating process restores the buffer coating to a stripped fiber, offering more flexibility than a heat-shrink protection sleeve, enabling it to be handled and coiled without damaging the fusion-spliced section. The integrated linear proof tester allows users to immediately test a recoated fiber with a pre-determined load and determine the long-term reliability of the fiber.
