Product Information

To mitigate this, angle cleaving of fiber end faces frustrates the backward propagation of end face reflections. The advantage of the precision cleavers is that they can produce repeatable results through thousands of cleaves by simply just rotating the wheel/blade accordingly. When we need to join two optical fibers together, we usually use mechanical splice or fusion splice. Cleavers that are designed for fusion splicing require a low average angle that is one degree or less, while cleavers appropriate for mechanical connectors require angles below three degrees. The scribe has a hard and sharp tip, generally made of carbide or diamond, to scratch the fiber manually.

With the introduction of the FC-6+, you now can have the ultimate precision tool for your single- and ribbon-fiber cleaving with a rotating blade. In addition, a kink shape due to non-perpendicular cleaves can cause substantial coupling losses, particularly for large mode area fibers.The FK11 features a patented anvil-less ultrasonic cleaving action that minimizes fiber end contamination, hackle, and misting – a cleaving technique that produces superb planar fiber ends of mirror quality. After lightly scoring the fiber, pull the fiber straight away from the connector to finish the scribe process. In the field of fiber optics, it is very necessary to use fiber optic cables with clean and smooth end face.

g. with a sharp diamond, carbide or ceramic blade, before or while some defined tension or bending is applied to the fiber.Thus the quality of the fiber cleavers directly determines the quality of fiber optic splices or terminations.

For example, one could not properly but together the fiber surfaces if a fiber had a small protrusion (a part standing out), even if that is only near the edge, far away from the fiber core. Some deviation from a normal (perpendicular) cleave may be irrelevant if the orientation of the fiber (or possibly that of a focusing or collimation lens) can be controlled for correcting the tilt angle.Sumitomo also manufactures a wide variety of other fiber optic tools including fiber cleavers, fiber jacket strippers, fiber holders and fiber arrangement tools.
