Brand: Fujikura
Origin: Japan
Model: CT16
Description:
The CT16 fiber cleaver from Fujikura was designed for FTTH or other space constrained applications where ergonomics and durability are key. It is compact, 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 speciffed 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.
Features:
- Dual fiber adapter plate for single or two fiber cleaving
- Ambidextrous operation available
- Field replaceable fiber clamp pads and cleaver blade
- Shock resistant for drops up to 30″ in any of six different orientations
- Compact form factor and tool-less blade rotations
Applications:
- Small cell site
- FTTx drops and terminations
- MDF/IDF splices and terminations
- Rural fiber deployments and restorations

Notes:
1. When the cleave length is less than 10mm, the coating diameter should be 250um or less. Also, a blade height adjustment is required before cleaving. The average cleave angle is worse than the speciffcation above when the cleave length is less than 10mm.
2. Measured with an interferometer at room temperature, no with a splicer. A new blade was used to cleave the single fi The average cleave angle changes depending on the environmental conditions, blade condition, operating method, and cleanliness.
3. The blade life changes depending on the environmental conditions, operating method, and the fiber type cleaved.
4. Measured with the top lever closed.
