A fiber optic splice recoat includes a flexible outer sleeve positioned over the splice area filled with a UV curable recoat material. The flexible outer sleeve is positioned over one of a pair of optical fibers to be spliced together. The glass fibers of the cables are spliced and the sleeve is positioned over the spliced area. The sleeve is filed with a UV curable recoat material and is subjected to UV energy to cure the recoat material. A fixture is provided for supporting the cables during the splice and recoat operations. The fixture is further provided with a handle to keep the positioning blocks spaced at a predetermined distance.

Surcouche d'épissure de fibres optiques comprenant un manchon extérieur souple placé au-dessus de la zone d'épissure et rempli d'un matériau de surcouche durcissant aux ultraviolets. On place ce manchon extérieur souple au-dessus d'une fibre optique d'une paire de fibres optiques devant être épissées. On effectue l'épissure des fibres de verre des câbles et on place le manchon au-dessus de la zone d'épissure. On remplit le manchon par un matériau de surcouche durcissant aux ultraviolets et on le soumet à une énergie d'ultraviolets afin de durcir le matériau de surcouche. Une garniture sert à supporter les câbles pendant l'épissure et la pose de la surcouche. Cette garniture comporte, de plus, un manche permettant de conserver l'espacement des blocs de positionnement selon une distance prédéterminée.
