CT58 Fiber Cleaver The CT58 cleaver is designed specifically for cleaving silica fibers with 80 μm cladding and up to 400 μm coatings. The CT58 provides unprecedented durability and simplistic maintenance unseen with any other cleaver. Cleaver blade life is easily managed and maximized via Bluetooth connection with a convenient smartphone app. Incorporating motorized push-button blade rotation and a convenient thumbwheel for blade height adjustment, routine cleaver adjustments have never been easier! The 16 position blade yields 60,000 cleaves providing for extended intervals between blade replacement. The CT58 is designed for use with either Fujikura FH-100 or FH-70 series fiber holders, but can also be used with the optional adapter plate to eliminate the need for fiber holders if desired. When utilized with the optional spacers for the cleaver and RS03-80 thermal stripper, six different cleave lengths can be easily attained.
