F-CLX series cleaver

  • Repeatable high quality cleaves
  • Both 0 and 8 degree angle optical fiber cleaver types

Product Description Product Detail Specifications Downloads Catalog PDF
Product Description
The Model F-BK3 Fiber Optic Cleaver offers precise endface quality with clean edges and very little angle, free of lips, chips or hackle for better splice performance. The diamond edge provides over 10,000 cleaves without replacement. It is an excellent choice for portability and ease of use.
The F-CLX Series rugged fiber cleavers are simple to operate and produce very high quality cleaves. Once the fiber is placed in the V-groove, the patented mechanism clamps, tenses, scribes and cleaves the fiber with a simple downward push of the top lever.
The F-CLX-0-3 perpendicular optical fiber cleaver provides a typical end angle of 0.25° and has an excellent cleave repeatability. The F-CLX-8-3 angle cleaves fibers to eliminate back reflections with an average angle of 8° and a standard deviation of 0.35°. Both versions offer a minimum cleave length of only 3 mm. Other features include a long-life blade angled to reduce stresses during cleaving and providing up to 20,000 cleaves — and a scale for gauging cleave lengths.
F-RCL Series ribbon cleavers are available for angle cleaving 4-fiber or 8-fiber ribbons for pigtailing to arrays of photonic components. Both models angle cleave all fibers in the ribbon at 8° (0.35° ...
