The CT16 Fibre Cleaver from Fujikura was designed for FTTH or other space constrained applications where ergonomics and durability are key. It is compact, can be operated ambidextrously, and features a unique fibre adapter, allowing users to cleave two bare fibres simultaneously when paired with the dual fibre stripper, the SS-05. The scrap collector and fibre adapter side can be swapped by the user for left or right-handed preference, or as environmental constraints dictate. Furthermore, the thumbwheel on the bottom of the cleaver is utilised for blade rotations as opposed to previous tedious processes to rotate a cleaver blade. The top lever opens past vertical allowing for easy viewing, cleaning, and adjustment of the cleave length. The blade is retracted when the top lever is opened and the blade activates to score the fibre when it is closed, making this a true one-step cleaver. Like its predecessor, this cleaver can withstand a 30” drop from any of six different orientations and still maintain factory specified cleave angle performance. The cleaver blade and fibre clamping mechanisms are easy to replace in the field, mitigating the need to send this cleaver in for service.

When the cleave length is less than 10 mm, the coating diameter should be 250 μm or less. Also, a blade height adjustment is required before cleaving. The average cleave angle quality will decrease when the cleave length is less than 10 mm. 2. Measured with an interferometer at room temperature, not with a splicer. A new blade was used to cleave the single fibres. The average cleave angle changes depending on the environmental conditions, blade condition, operating method, and cleanliness. 3. The blade life changes depending on the environmental conditions, operating method, and the fibre type cleaved. 4. Measured with the top lever closed.
