Large Diameter Optical Fiber Cleaver CT-104

The CT52 is designed for cleaving silica fiber with 125μm cladding diameter, specially for its short length cleaving capability. Minimum 3mm cleave is possible by up to 900μm fiber coating, while the coating to be clamped.

AFL’s PowerCleave combines the precision of an ultrasonic cleaver with the ease and improved fiber management of the Fujikura fiber holder system. The PowerCleave™ utilizes the tensile stress method to avoid touching or damaging the bare glass surface during cleaving, ensuring highly robust, reliable and durable splice results. The PowerCleave provides consistent flat ends even at cleave lengths as short as 3 mm. Specially designed for use with Fujikura’s specialty market splicers, this advanced cleaving system allows for more reliability and greater splicing consistency with less dependence on operator technique.

Nyfors product. The Auto Cleaver is designed for cleaving silica fiber with 80 to 230μm cladding diameter.

The CleaveMeter 3DTM is a phase-shifting Michelson interferometer for non-contact end-face inspection of cleaved and polished optical fibers with cladding diameters up to 1200 μm. Designed for both production and research applications, this comprehensive fiber optic testing system combines full resolution, three-dimensional surface topography reconstruction and mapping with automated, operator independent measurements of cleave angle and surface flatness in a small, lightweight benchtop unit.
