Highlights: Precision fiber cleaver prepares optical fiber for fusion splicing Provides cleaves with a cutting angle of less than 0.5° for optimal fiber preparation Long 48,000-cut blade life with 16-position blade design Holds 250 µm and 900 µm coated optical fiber Scaled holder supports accurate cleave lengths from 5 mm to 20 mm Built-in fiber trash can helps contain fiber scraps Features: Designed for fiber technicians, fiber splicers, and fusion splice preparation Lightweight, rugged design supports long-term durability 16 blade positions provide extended service life Each blade position supports up to 3,000 cleaves Compatible with single fiber 0.25 mm and 0.9 mm coatings Scaled holder helps set repeatable cleave lengths The Jonard Tools FC-500 Precision Fiber Cleaver is designed to prepare optical fiber for fusion splicing with accurate cleaves. Built for fiber technicians, the tool holds 250 µm and 900 µm coated optical fiber and produces cleaves with a cutting angle of less than 0.5° for optimal fiber preparation. The Fiber Optic Cleaver features a 16-position blade design with a total blade life of up to 48,000 cleaves. Each blade position supports up to 3,000 cleaves, helping extend service life during frequent fiber optic work. The scaled holder helps ensure accurate cleave lengths from 5 mm to 20 mm for single fiber with 0.25 mm coating, and 12 mm to 20 mm for single fiber with 0.9 mm coating. Its lightweight, rugged design supports long-term durability while remaining practical for technician use in the field or at a workbench. A built-in fiber trash can helps contain fiber scraps, supporting cleaner handling after each cut. The tool is easy to carry while still supporting precision work. The Jonard Tools FC-500 Precision Fiber Cleaver is a practical choice for professional fiber work.
