Fujikura CT-03 High Precision Fiber Optic Cleaver

The Fujikura CT-03 High Precision Fiber Optic Cleaver delivers consistent, low-loss cleaves for single-mode and multi-mode optical fibers in field and laboratory environments. Built as a rugged, self-contained unit, it minimizes splice loss through precision cleaving and features a rotating circular blade mechanism that extends blade life while maintaining performance repeatability across operator skill levels.
