Abstract
An optimized version of the previously reported Elastic Tube Splice 1,2 has been developed. Splice losses were measured, yielding an average of 0.04 dB with a very small spread in values. The optimization consisted in modification of dimensions, selection of a different material, and refinement of molding procedures.
