This unit
The Fujikura CT-50 is a high-precision fiber optic cleaver designed for single and multi-fiber ribbon applications in fusion splicing and termination workflows. It delivers cleave angles typically below 0.5° and supports conventional silica optical fibers with cladding diameters of 125 µm and coating diameters ranging from 160 µm to 900 µm. Single-action operation combines cleaving and scrap collection, while a wide lever opening angle simplifies fiber placement and alignment.
