Optical Fibre Cleaver VD-1 | One-Step Cut | 28-Face Blade, 48000 Cuts

The VD-1 is a one-step optical fibre cleaver: lay the fibre in the clamp, press the top cover and the cut completes automatically, giving a cutting angle of about 0.5° on 125µm fibre. Its tungsten steel blade has 28 cutting surfaces and is rated for up to 48000 cuts, and a push switch on the base moves the blade to a fresh cutting point. Features and Benefits - One-step cutting - press the cover and the cut is done one-handed; the slide rail rebounds by itself afterwards. - Three-in-one fixture with built-in scale - 0.25mm bare fibre, 0.9mm tail fibre and 2.5 to 3.0mm leather cable, no length gauge needed. - 28-surface tungsten steel blade - up to 48000 cuts before a blade change. - Push-switch cutting point change - move to a new point from the base without opening the tool. - Safety lock - keeps the lid closed to protect the blade from knocks and the operator from accidental cuts. - Adjustable blade height - set from the underside with the supplied hex keys. - Removable waste fibre box - press the release button, lift the box off and empty the offcuts. Applications - FTTH drop cable and indoor leather cable termination. - Fibre end preparation before fusion (hot melt) splicing. - Mechanical (cold joint) fast connector assembly. - Repairs at patch panels and splice closures. In the box VD-1 cleaver, clear protective storage case, two hex keys, instruction manual and colour box. Options marked with blade add a spare blade. Note: Fibre offcuts are sharp and almost invisible. Keep the waste box fitted, empty it into a sealed container and wear safety glasses while cleaving.
