Spartanburg, SC – AFL, an international manufacturer of fiber optic cable, connectivity and accessories, introduces the Fujikura large diameter cleaver family. The CT-104+ fiber cleaver features a manual clamping system that supports 80 to 600 µm cladding diameter. The CT-105+ fiber cleaver features an automatic clamping system for fiber with 80 to 1,250 µm cladding diameter. The CT-106+ fiber cleaver features an automatic clamping system for fiber with 80 to 1,250 µm cladding diameter and an angled cleaving function (up to 15° on fibers up to 800 µm).

“Since the introduction of an LDF cleaving family several years ago, Fujikura has continued to review the technology and manufacture innovative products that align with changes in market conditions,” explained Brad Hendrix, Specialty Global Market Manager for AFL. “This is the next step in the evolution of an already great product.”  

The CT105+/CT-106+ cleavers feature a new technology that finds the optimum clamping force automatically and accurately. All LDF cleavers in this series consist of a color LCD that shows cleaving progress and recommended insert size depending on fiber coating and cladding diameter. Cleaving programs can be saved and stored to a PC or tablet using a USB port.
