ABSTRACT:
A plastic split optical alignment sleeve comprising a cylindrical plastic sleeve with a slit in a side surface thereof to be arranged in an adaptor which splices optical fiber chords having inserted therethrough optical fibers and having a ferrule on each end thereof, the sleeve being capable of engaging therein the ferrules on both sides thereof to splice the optical fibers, comprises a resin composition which when injection molded exhibits an anisotropy of 1.5 or less, the anisotropy being expressed in terms of ratio of a physical property, preferably flexural modulus, in a first direction in which a resin in the resin composition flew upon injection molding and that in a second direction which is at right angles to the first direction. The resin composition contains at least one resin selected from polyetherimides, polyethersulfones, and epoxy resins and at least one inorganic substance selected from whiskers and silica powder.
