AFLglobal.com | 800.235.3423 50 Fusion Splicing Cleavers When exceptional cleave quality is required for fibers up to 1,250 μm, the new large diameter CT-104+/CT-105+/CT-106+ cleaver family provides a variety of options depending on your needs. The color LCD shows cleaving progress and recommended insert size depending on fiber coating and cladding diameter. Saving and storing cleaving programs to a PC or tablet is accomplished using a USB port. The LDF cleaver’s extensive programming features allow for optimal results. Excess clamping force may deform the coating or worsen the cleave angle due to rotational stress by the clamps. Therefore, to get good cleaving quality, the clamping force should be the minimum force that does not slip while the cleaver applies fiber tension. The optimum clamping force depends on the optical fibers structure and coating material. The CT105+/ CT-106+ cleavers feature a new technology that finds the optimum clamping force automatically and accurately.
