Fiber Optic Cleaver FC-XK6S/A – Precision Cleaving Tool for SM & MM Fibers

In fiber optic splicing and termination, a poor cleave leads to high splice loss, weak mechanical joints, and costly rework. The Fiber Optic Cleaver FC-XK6S/A eliminates these issues with a precision tungsten carbide blade that delivers cleave angles under 0.5°, ensuring low-loss connections every time. Its robust aluminum alloy body and automatic blade return make it a reliable choice for field technicians and production lines alike.

Who is it for

This cleaver is built for fiber optic installers, telecom maintenance crews, and manufacturing technicians who work with single-mode and multi-mode fibers. It is equally suited for FTTH deployments, data center cabling, and laboratory prototyping where consistent cleave quality is critical.

Main features

Tips

To maximize blade life, rotate the blade to a fresh position after noticing a decline in cleave quality. Always clean the fiber holder and V-groove before use to prevent debris from affecting cleave angles. Store the cleaver in its carrying case when not in use to protect the precision surfaces.
