To complement the line of world class splicing systems, AFL’s PowerCleave combines the precision of an ultrasonic cleaver with the ease and improved fiber management of the Fujikura fiber holder system. PowerCleave’s tensile cleaving method includes a tension clamping system and a diamond-tipped ultrasonic blade, allowing for consistently flat ends even at cleave lengths as short as 3mm. Specially designed for the FSM-45F/ PM fiber holders, this advanced cleaving system allows for more reliability and greater splicing consistency with less dependence on operator technique.
