XCAP-1/XCAP-2 SINGLE & Dual-HOLE MICRO CAPILLARIES

Micro capillaries are fiber optic devices to attach fibers optics with precise alignment.  XMULTIPLE’s single micro capillary offers a solution to align one fiber and the dual micro capillary aligns two fibers.    Because glass is suitable for mass production with its thermal softening property our glass micro capillaries are manufactured with the highest quality at the lowest possible pricing.

 XMULTIPLE XCAP-1 and XCAP-2 micro capillaries are made with the a high chemical durability and  the XCAP capillaries have the highest quality polishing characteristics.   Both capillaries offer high UV transmittance which makes it possible to use UV curable adhesives to attaché the fiber to the capillaries. 

The XMULTIPLE XCAP micro capillary series are designed for easy mechanical assembly with the least amount of labor required for connecting and splicing fiber optic cables. The efficiency of the fiber optic installers is improved and our capillaries reduces the time required to attach fibers and therefore reduces cost.  The XCAP micro capillaries adhere to coated fibers as well as bare fiber.  Coated fiber can be inserted firmly into the glass capillary holes.    Pictured below are various lengths micro capillaries offered.  The most popular length is 0.250mm.

Features and Benefits

Micro Capillaries are percision glass fiber optic splicing devices

Micro Capillaries are used also as fiber supports in optical devices

Micro Capillaries reduce the cost for connecting fiber optics and provide a higher quality connection

Micro Capillaries are made of borosilicate glass which has high chemical durability

Fibers are inserted into the capillaries very smoothly without scratching

UV curable adhesive can be used which makes the assembly process simpler

Polishing cost is greatly reduced because polishing time is reduced and diamond sheet is not required
