Image showing the end surface cleave which is flat with a discontinuity to the top left where the blade made contact with the fibre. The shock resistance test does not guarantee the product will not be damaged under these conditions. The CI-03 fibre cleaver includes a flexible clamping system to prevent vibration shock to the fibre during the cleaving process. 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. In addition the CI-03 fibre cleaver uses a Swift Oil damper bearing system to produce the finest fibre end faces which have no cracks.

This is because a crack will propagate in a direction perpendicular to the local principal tensile stress. Look at the inner components and you’ll likely find cheaply made parts and blades with inferior metal alloys that can compromise your splice or break down during the job. Both optical fiber slicing techniques require that the fiber tips are a smooth end face that is perpendicular (90°) to the fiber axis as shown below.The simple user interface allows for easy operation and single-action capabilities cleave and collect the fiber shards with one device.

AFL, a division of Fujikura, produce a range of fibre optic cable testers that can locate faults, test fibre cables and integrate with Fujikura splicers and cleavers. As well as this other electronic solutions from EDP Europe include: KVM Switches and Extenders, KVM Console Drawers, DCIM Solutions, Power Transfer Switches and Asset Tracking solutions. Also available is a range of battery operated or manually operated server lifters that makes the movement and installation of IT equipment easier. Ilsintech’s stand-alone fiber optic cleavers are available with a single fiber adapter for 250 to 900 micron coated single fibers. Additional time savings include: uniform starting point for less polishing, consistent epoxy removal, elimination of safety concerns (minimize handling of scrap fibre), and reduction in the overall cost of terminations.When the fixed clamp is installed the fibre is securely held in place and is capable of cleaving 200-micron, 250 micron, 900 micron, 3mm, ribbon and bowtie fibres. Due to automated scoring mechanisms, cleavers can now complete a cleave and reset themselves for the next cleave in one or two steps, streamlining the cleaving process while perfecting the quality and reliability of the cleave. The OptiSaber™ OS7000M Laser Cleaver is the finest fibre forming machine on the market that increases production yield on multi-fibre (MTP/MPO) applications.

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. We produce a wide range of standard and bespoke fibre optic patch cord and pigtail assemblies made up from a wide variety of connector types, both singlemode and multimode, using our high quality cables. On top of this EDP Europe distributes fibre optic solutions from Huber+Suhner which includes: ODFs, fibre cable, fibre trays, patch panels, and other fibre management solutions suitable for a wide variety of connectors including MTP. Offering quality UK manufactured single mode and multimode fibre optic assemblies, we also offer a huge range of connectivity products including Cat5e patch panels and cabinets for both data and fibre management.When we need to join two optical fibers together, we usually use mechanical splice or fusion splice. of Japan since 2005, is widely recognized by the telecommunications industry as one of the foremost fiber optic solution providers. The reduced lid size and wide opening angle facilitates fiber loading and improves stability resulting in better single and ribbon fiber cleaves. These products target at applications where a consistent, defect-free, but angled cleave is required, such as for semiconductor laser diode manufacturing.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. If the end face of the opposing fiber tips are angled with respect each other, there will usually be a deficit of glass material when the fiber are brought together during the hot push. Generally a fiber should be re-cleaved when it has a lip that is visible in the magnified image of a fusion splicer.On top of our own media tape storage solutions, EDP Europe also offers data tape storage solutions from Russ Bassett and Turtle media cases. Since both the scribing and breaking process are under manual control, this method varies greatly in repeatability. Fujikura also offer a range of spare parts and consumables that help keep the Fujikura equipment working at peak performance, these include splicer clamps, splicer electrodes, cleaver blades and heat shrink sleeves.
