AFL Fujikura CT16 SM/MM Fiber Cleaver w/ Scrap Collector

The Fujikura CT16 fiber cleaver was designed for FTTH or other space constrained applications where ergonomics and durability are key. This compact cleaver can be operated ambidextrously, and features a unique fiber adapter, allowing users to cleave two bare fibers simultaneously when paired with the dual fiber stripper, the SS-05. The scrap collector and fiber adapter side can be swapped by the user for left or right-handed preference, or as environmental constraints dictate. Furthermore, the thumbwheel on the bottom of the cleaver is utilized for blade rotations as opposed to previous tedious processes to rotate a cleaver blade. The top lever opens past vertical allowing for easy viewing, cleaning, and adjustment of the cleave length. The blade is retracted when the top lever is opened and the blade activates to score the fiber when it is closed, making this a true one-step cleaver. Like its predecessor, this cleaver can withstand a 30” drop from any of six different orientations and still maintain factory specified cleave angle performance. The cleaver blade and fiber clamping mechanisms are easy to replace in the field, mitigating the need to send this cleaver in for service.
