Advanced Optical Fiber Cleaver CT-101

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 AutoCoater 2 SC™ is used to restore the protective coating on acrylate coated optical fibers in high strength applications. It is fully automatic, allowing for operator skill independent operation in factory environments with high cost and productivity advantages. This modified version of the automatic AutoCoater 2™ is equipped with special clamps for recoating applications where only short lengths of fiber are available. A narrower positioning and shorter distance between the fiber clamps than in the standard version enables clamping and recoating of fibers as short as 124 mm without reducing the recoat length itself.

This fully automatic optical fiber cleaver is designed for fast and flexible fiber processing in factory and laboratory environments. Easily interchangeable fiber handling parts enable high precision cleaving of different fibers in the range from 80 μm up to 600 μm cladding diameter with industry leading repeatability and consistency.
