FK11 & FK12 Fiber Optic Cleavers
Provides the most accurate and repeatable fiber
cleaving results in the world
The FK11 & FK12 Fiber Optic Cleavers are simply the best cleavers
in the world. Using an ultrasonic cleaving method, the cleavers provide
accurate cleaves of fibers in preparation for fusion splicing or
termination. With a wide variety of fiber diameters and types, the FK11
series meets every cleaving application. Whether fusion splicing in the
field or connectorizing in the lab, the FK series cleaves are fast and
easy to use. The accuracy enhances system and component performance and
maximizes efficiency by eliminating the need to continuously re-cleave
fibers to obtain the desired results. Additionally, the FK12 cleaver
allows the user to cleave the fiber from 0º to 15º for specific
applications where a low reflectance is required, such as the industry
standard 8º angled polish.
Features
- Provides tension prior to cleaving for a clean cleave ensuring no
damage to glass
- <0.6º cleave angle for excellent repeatability
- Adjustable cleave angle from 0º to 15º (FK12) for optimum
performance in component termination
- Long life with durable blade provides extended use
Benefits
- Versatile - cleaves a wide range of fiber types and sizes
- Clean - no contamination during cleaving
- Easy-to-use - fast terminations reduce installation or pigtailing
costs
