3M FIBRLOK 2525 READ NOTE, NEW This splice requires two 250 micron coated fibers.
3M mechanical splices are as follows:
2525 - 250 micron coatings only.
2590 - one 250 micron coating and one 900 micron coating.
2599 - 900 micron coatings only.
2529 - 250 or 900 micron coatings.
The 3M Mechanical Spice can be used with either single-mode or multimode fibers with a glass cladding diameter of 125 microns. The assembly requires only the removal of the fiber coating, and cleaning and cleaving of the fiber. 2501 Assembly Tool turns any crafts person into a splicing expert. The splice needs no epoxy or electricity and installation time is within 3 minutes.

note:This splice uses the same tools as the 2529, and the same basic procedures. The color of the 2525 is black instead of gray as the 2529. That is the only noticeable difference to an end user.
