Fiber Cleaver, Manual, Angled 8 Degree

The F-CLX-8-3-2 is the industry's simplest angled fiber cleaver. It is mainly used to remove back-reflections in FTTH applications and specifically for installing field-assembled FAST connectors. It can also be used to attach fiber to photonic chips. The F-CLX-8-3-2 fiber cleaver provides a typical end angle of 8° for SM or PM fiber and has excellent cleave repeatability. Back-reflection of better than -50 dB is achieved. The cleaver has a single stapler-action operation. The blade made from diamond is very long-lasting, easily providing 20,000 or more cleaves. This cleaver is purely mechanical and so can be used in the field without a power source. It uses a 16 mm wide detachable holder and includes a fiber shard bin.
