Fibre Cleaver AUA-X5 | 16-Position Tungsten Blade | Waste Fibre Box

The AUA-X5 is a precision fibre cleaver for FTTH and splicing work that cuts 125µm fibre to a flat end face at a cutting angle of about 0.6°, using a 16-position tungsten steel blade rated for about 48000 cuts. A three-in-one fixture takes 0.25mm bare fibre, 0.9mm and 3.0mm pigtails and 3.0mm leather (drop) cable without swapping clamps, and a detachable box catches every offcut. Features and Benefits - Three-in-one fixture with length scale - bare fibre, pigtails and drop cable in one clamp, no length setter needed. - 16 cutting points on a tungsten steel blade - move to a fresh point as each wears, about 48000 cuts per blade. - Automatic blade return - the slide rail resets the blade when the cover is opened. - Detachable waste fibre box - shards drop into the box, not onto the bench or your clothes. - Rubber pressure pad and sponge pressing block - holds the fibre still during the cut. - Rubber feet and a hex wrench storage slot - stays put on the bench and the wrench stays with the tool. - Suits hot melt and cold joints - for fusion splicing and mechanical fast connectors. Applications - FTTH drop cable termination and fibre to the home installs. - Preparing fibre ends before a fusion splicer. - Field assembly of mechanical (cold joint) fast connectors. - Patch panel, closure and repair work by telecoms technicians. In the box Fibre cleaver, blade adjusting wrench, instruction manual, protective carry bag and packaging box. The options marked with blade add a spare blade. Note: Cleaved fibre shards are sharp and hard to see. Keep the waste box fitted, empty it into a sealed container, wear safety glasses and never sweep offcuts off the bench with your hand.
