Precise cleaving is required for photonic splicing applications as the types of optical fiber become more diversified to meet new applications. In addition, angled cleaving is often required for low back-reflection fiber end preparation. The CT-100 has been developed to offer adjustability and versatility for these various fiber types and applications while offering superior cleaving performance beyond conventional cleavers that utilize a circular blade. The CT-100 is equipped with a motorized diamond blade that touches the fiber after tension has been applied providing high-strength cleaving capability.
