A fiber optic cleaver is a precision tool used to cut optical fiber in a way that produces a clean, flat end face, which is crucial for low-loss fiber splicing or termination. It’s an essential piece of equipment for professionals working with fiber optic cables, particularly in telecommunications, data centers, and FTTH (Fiber to the Home) installations.
- Precision Blade
Utilizes a diamond or tungsten blade to produce a clean, 90-degree end face on the fiber. - Consistent Cleave Quality
Ensures low splice loss and high transmission performance, reducing signal issues. - Adjustable Blade Position
Most cleavers have a rotatable blade with multiple positions to extend tool life (often 16–24 positions). - Fiber Holder/Clamp
Keeps the fiber stable during the cleaving process to avoid cracking or angled cuts. - Single or Multi-Fiber Support
Some cleavers are designed for single fibers (250μm, 900μm), while others can handle ribbons or multiple fibers simultaneously. - Automatic Scrap Collector (Optional)
Collects fiber shards for safety and cleanliness.
