Fujikura CT-08 High Precision Fiber Cleaver

The Fujikura CT-08 is a high-precision single-fiber cleaver engineered for accurate, consistent cleaving of glass optical fibers across telecommunications, data centers, and research laboratory environments. This compact instrument delivers typical cleave angles of 0.5 degrees with a user-replaceable blade featuring 16 working positions and rated for approximately 48,000 total fiber cleaves. Tool-free blade rotation, user-replaceable fiber clamps, and a wide lever opening enable straightforward fiber placement and single-step cleaving operation with integrated fiber scrap collection.
