NetTest FK11 & FK12 Fiber Optic Cleavers
The FK 11 and FK 12 Cleavers provide the most accurate
and repeatable fiber cleaving results in the world.
The FK 11 and FK 12 cleavers are simply the best cleavers in the world.
Using an ultrasonic cleaving method, these units provide accurate cleaves
of fibers in preparation for fusion splicing or termination. With a wide
variety of fiber diameters and types, the FK 11 series meets every cleaving
application. The FK 12 cleaver allows the user to cleave the fiber to
a specified angle for terminations sensitive to reflections.
Benefits
- Tension First - eliminates the need for polishing and index matching
gels
- Versatile - cleaves a wide range of fiber types and sizes
- Clean - no contamination during cleaving
- Easy-to-use - fast terminations reduce installation or pigtailing
costs
The FK 11 and FK 12 cleavers are simply the best cleavers in the world.
Using an ultrasonic cleaving method, the cleavers provide accurate cleaves
of fibers in preparation for fusion splicing or termination. With a wide
variety of fiber diameters and types, the FK 11 series meets every cleaving
application. Whether fusion splicing in the field or connectorizing in
the lab, the FK series cleaves are fast and easy to use. The accuracy
enhances system and component performance and maximizes efficiency by
eliminating the need to continuously re-cleave fibers to obtain the desired
results. Additionally, the FK 12 cleaver allows the user to cleave the
fiber from 0¼ to 15¼ for specific applications where a low reflectance
is required, such as the industry standard 8¼ angled polish.
