Abstract
An embodiment of the indention includes a passive, fiber optic, thermal insulator. The thermal insulator includes an inner sleeve defining a central access port. The thermal insulator includes an outer sleeve concentric to the inner sleeve. The inner sleeve and the outer sleeve are joined sufficient to define an annular void. The thermal insulator includes a first insulator located in the annular void. Optionally, the apparatus includes at least one optical fiber secured in the central access port.
