Fusion Splicing Systems 1 PowerCleave ® To complement the line of world class splicing systems, AFL’s PowerCleave combines the precision of an ultrasonic cleaver with the ease and improved fiber management of the Fujikura fiber holder system. The PowerCleave utilizes the tensile stress method to avoid touching or damaging the bare glass surface during cleaving, ensuring highly robust, reliable and durable splice results. The PowerCleave provides consistent flat ends even at cleave lengths as short as 3 mm. Specially designed for use with Fujikura’s specialty market splicers, this advanced cleaving system allows for more reliability and greater splicing consistency with less dependence on operator technique. Features • Tensile cleaving with ultrasonic blade • Consistent, low-angle cleaves of short cleave-length fibers • Fiber holder system reduces fiber handling • Clean, reliable quality Specifications Parameter Value Fibers Cleaved 80 μm - 200 μm (cladding diameter) Minimum Cleave Length 3 mm Cleave Angle <0.6 typical Blade Diamond with an estimated life of over 20,000 cleaves Clamping System Compatible with Fujikura specialty market fiber holder systems Case ABS impact resistant with non-slip feet and a 6.25 mm (.24 inch) BSW thread tripod mount for hard mounting to a workstation Battery 9V alkaline (MN 1604), battery life approximately 10,000 cleaves Dimensions (L x W x D) 75 mm x 153 mm x 150 mm (3.0 x 6.0 x 5.9 inches) Weight 1.1 kg (2.4 lbs) Operating Temperature 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F) Ordering Information Description AFL No. PowerCleave Kit includes: PowerCleave, Instruction manual, 2.5 mm x 60 mm Screwdriver, and 2 mm Allen wrench S009972
