Fibre Cleavers

 

The fibersect.multi.2™ quickly cuts off the epoxy and fibres protruding from the face of connector ferrules during the installation process. In less than one second, it produces a flat cut close to the MT ferrule face, creating the ideal surface for polishing. Throughput is improved by eliminating manual steps such as hand cleaving, de-nubbing and epoxy removal. The multi.2 is optimized for cutting 4 to 72 fibre MT ferrules as well as large diameter fibres used with SMA connectors. With a simple one button operation, small footprint, and battery power, the fibersect.multi.2 provides exceptional versatility, portability, and ease of use in the production environment.

The OptiSaber™ OS7000S Single Fibre Laser Cleaver provides significant cost savings and reduction in process variation associated with cracking typical of mechanical cleaving methods. Additional time savings include uniform starting point for less polishing, elimination of safety concerns (minimize handling of scrap fibre) and reduction in the overall cost of terminations.

Features

• Compact: 21” x 9” x 4-3/4” (530mm x 228m x 120mm)
• Fast, Reliable & Affordable
• Quick change adapter inserts for SC, LC, SMA, FC & ST connectors
• 120/240 volt available

System Performance Criteria

• Recommended Protrusion: 60-70µ
• Co-planarity: 10µ
• Cleave Angle: 10-14°

Features

• The S315 with its small, lightweight size makes it the perfect addition to any field splicing system
• The unit's graduated scale allows for cleave lengths of 5 to 20mm
• Designed to accommodate 250µm and 900µm coating diameters
• The S315 is FITEL's least expensive cleaver model.
• The S315 field cleaver requires some skill to achieve the desired cleave angle so it may not be appropriate for some splicing applications
