Fibre Optic Cleaver FC-33 | Full Metal One-Step | Three Fixtures

The FC-33 is a one-step, full-metal fibre optic cleaver for 125µm fibre with a typical cleaving angle of 0.5° or less*, a replaceable blade rated for 72,000 cleaves* (3,000 per blade position) and three fixtures supplied as standard: universal, dual-core and three-in-one. The CNC-machined body weighs 246.1g, of which 212.6g is metal. Features and Benefits - Three standard fixtures - universal and three-in-one fixtures take 0.25 to 3.0mm and the dual-core fixture takes 0.25 to 0.9, so one cleaver covers bare fibre, pigtails, drop cable and multi-core work. - Tool-free blade position change - a gear mechanism moves the blade to the next cleaving point with a simple slide, no screwdriver. - Full-metal CNC machining - a hard-wearing body with high corrosion resistance. - Metal base with rubber pressure pad - grips the fibre firmly for a clean cleave. - Automatic cleaver return - the blade carriage resets after every cleave as standard. - Scrap collector - a lidded box catches fibre offcuts and is emptied by hand. Applications - Preparing single-mode fibre for fusion splicing. - FTTH installs with 250µm, 900µm, 3.0mm fibre and drop cable. - Multi-core work with 2 to 12 fibres at a 10mm cleaving length. - Telecoms build, maintenance and repair crews. In the box FC-33 fibre cleaver, carrying case, hex wrench, universal fixture, dual-core fixture and three-in-one fixture. * As published: the cleaving angle and blade life vary with the operating environment. Note: Poor cleaves usually come from fibre not lying straight in the clamp, the blade set too high, debris on the fibre clamp or dust on the blade or fibre. Fibre offcuts are sharp, so keep the scrap box closed and wear safety glasses.
