Ripley’s FOC-SS Fiber Optic Cleaver from Miller is designed for fiber cleaving applications that include field termination of fiber connectors and mechanical splices as well as laboratory applications.
It features a graduated leaf spring scale, which allows cleave lengths of 5.0 mm to 20.0 mm, and is designed to produce a precise cleave endface angle of less than 2 degrees. The tool is supplied with a standard carbide cleaning blade designed for more than 6,000 consistent cleaves. The tool is designed for single-mode and multimode fiber with cladding outside diameter of 125 microns with no operator tool adjustments. Cleaver and instructions come in a 2.12 oz. hard plastic case that measures 5.38 x 3.38 x 1.13 inches.
