CT52 Fiber Cleaver The CT52 cleaver is designed for use with Fujikura factory model fusion splicers. Modified clamping pads on the CT52 allow for shorter cleave lengths with fiber coating >250 μm. The CT52 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 CT52 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 RS series thermal stripper, six different cleave lengths can be easily attained.
