High Precision Cleaver C108
100% satisfaction guaranteed with every order!
In high-performance optical fiber splicing, the quality of the initial fiber cleave directly dictates the ultimate insertion loss of the fused joint. Even the most advanced fusion splicer cannot completely compensate for a jagged, angled, or contaminated fiber face. The High Precision Cleaver C108 is a premium, field-ready instrument engineered to provide consistently perfect perpendicular cleaves. Designed for telecom engineers, enterprise network installers, and Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) technicians, this mechanical tool minimizes execution errors and ensures rapid, stable field prep work.
Constructed with a heavy-duty metal chassis and dynamic stabilization springs, the High Precision Cleaver C108 holds standard silica glass fibers securely during the scoring and fracturing cycle. This high-precision cleaver features an automatic fiber scrap collection system, keeping your immediate work area free from hazardous glass shards. Whether you are prepping standard single-mode drop cables or high-density ribbon groupings, the High Precision Cleaver C108 delivers repeatable engineering tolerance levels, keeping your average cleave angle strictly below 0.5 degrees.
Key Features of the High Precision Cleaver C108
- Ultra-Precise Cleaving Angle: Routinely achieves a cleave angle of less than 0.5 degrees, minimizing macro-bends and surface imperfections before splicing.
- Automatic Glass Shard Collector: Integrated mechanical trash bin automatically sweeps and stores hazardous glass fiber cut-offs for enhanced site safety.
- 16-Position Adjustable Blade: The premium tungsten carbide blade features 16 individual cutting indexes, delivering up to 48,000 clean cuts over its functional lifespan.
- Dual-Fiber and Ribbon Compatibility: Outfitted with a versatile universal adapter plate that perfectly accommodates 250µm coated fiber, 900µm buffered jacket fiber, flat drop cables, and multi-core ribbon configurations.
- Streamlined Operational Mechanics: Utilizes a smooth, one-step operational sequence—pressing down the top cover clamps, scores, and cleaves the optical path simultaneously.
Optimizing the Cutting Flow for Low-Loss Splicing
Achieving a clean break relies on micro-scoring the silica surface perfectly before applying precise bending tension. The High Precision Cleaver C108 manages this process through targeted internal engineering controls. Dual top rubber dampening blocks hold the fiber perfectly concentric, preventing the optical cable from twisting or slipping out of alignment when the scoring blade travels beneath.
The inner carriage moves the tungsten carbide blade smoothly along a precise mechanical slider path, maintaining a uniform touch height across the fiber face. As the cutting slide finishes its forward movement and the top lid opens, an internal gear mechanism draws the scrap piece cleanly into the rear containment bin. If you ever encounter operational inconsistencies or need guidance on calibration, you can find expert troubleshooting steps through our comprehensive Comway splicing machine support center.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: Why is the average cleave angle important for fusion splicing?
A: The fusion splicer aligns the physical cores of the fibers before firing the electric arc. If the cleave angle is steep (over 1 degree) or has chips, the glass will fuse unevenly, leading to high attenuation points or bubble formations within the joint. The High Precision Cleaver C108 keeps this angle under 0.5 degrees for maximum splicing efficiency.
Q2: How do I adjust the cutting position when the blade becomes dull?
A: When a specific cutting index begins creating irregular cleaves, you can loosen the central locking screw on the blade carriage and rotate the circular tungsten carbide blade clockwise to the next numbered marker (1 through 16).
Q3: Can the High Precision Cleaver C108 handle flat FTTH drop cables?
A: Yes. The multi-functional clamp plate integrated into the C108 is designed to hold 250µm fiber, 900µm tight-buffered fiber, and standard 2mm × 3mm rectangular indoor FTTH drop cables securely without requiring any adapter swap.
Q4: Where can I find genuine replacement blades and accessories?
A: You can source original tungsten replacement wheels, backup storage cases, and matching setup toolings through our related dynamic categories listed on the main store collections layout.
