Product Information

As mentioned before, fiber optic cleavers can be classified into precision cleavers and cheap or scribe cleavers. Scribe Cleavers User Selectable Blade Rotation Options Include: Automatic Blade Rotation with Each Fiber Cleave,No Rotation, and Single Position Advance We continuously provide service training to maintain high level service capabilities and satisfy our customers. Since fracture is such a violent and difficult to control process, even the best commercial cleaver will sometime produce defective cleaves. With preview image (see the box just above):

The reliability and resulting quality is substantially better than with real mechanical cleaving, and this of course leads to substantial advantages in terms of yield and working time. That is particularly the case when polishing steps have to follow; the time spent on those (and the amount of used consumables) can be reduced due to the improved starting quality. On the other hand, a laser lever is of course substantially more expensive than a mechanical cleaver. After lightly scoring the fiber, pull the fiber straight away from the connector to finish the scribe process. The fiber should shear cleanly at the scribe point. These auto-rotating cleavers remove the majority of the cleaver maintenance drudgery; provide 48,000 consecutive cleaves with no adjustments necessary; and extend the life of the cleaver blade; while resulting in an excellent typical cleave angle of <0.5 degrees.Conversely, if the Fresnel reflection of a fiber end needs to be exploited (e.g. for building a fiber laser), it is important to keep the cleave angle small – well below the beam divergence angle corresponding to the fiber mode. Large mode area fibers are more critical in this respect.

The quality of the obtained cleaves has different aspects, the relevance of which depends on the application:Note that cleaving is not cutting, as the bulk of the process is just breaking. Only the initial tiny break is prepared with a blade. When switching over to a permanent license directly thereafter, get the already paid money fully deducted!

The ultrasonically vibrating blade moves slowly toward the tensioned fiber on stictionless damped bearings. Cleaving then takes place without damage from compressive stresses and blade intrusion into the fiber that is typical of conventional cleavers. The downside to these built-in cleavers is that if either the cleaver or splicer requires maintenance, the technician loses two valuable tools, which can hold up the job at hand. To ensure our customers can always use our fusion splicers, fibre cleavers, and other accessories at the highest performance level. Fiber cleaving is an important technique in the area of fiber optics. When optical fibers are connectorized, when they should be fusion-spliced or when light should be launched into fibers, the fiber ends need to be prepared such they have clean surfaces. Usually, such surfaces should be as flat as possible, at least over the area of the fiber core (sometimes over the full cross-section), and often it is important that the surface is either perpendicular to the fiber axis or has a well-defined angle against the fiber axis.By purchasing from reputable manufacturers, you’ll enjoy manufacturer support and warranties; service for periodic maintenance and cleaning that extends the life of the cleaver; and a cleaver made of the best durable metal materials. SumiCloud™ is a powerful tool that supports your fusion splicer in the field. Using your smartphone, your splicer connects to the internet and Sumitomo's cloud services which include data management, asset management, firmware updates and maintenance support. Enjoy a new generation of splice experience with SumiCloud™. A microscope may be required to properly inspect the obtained fiber surfaces. There are hand-held microscopes for such purposes, and fusion splicing apparatuses also often contain a microscope.
