Ox-RAC-08 Angled Ribbon Fiber Cleaver

Product information "Ox-RAC-08 Angled Ribbon Fiber Cleaver"

Manual Angled Cleaving of Ribbon Fiber; Fiber Type SM Ribbon Fiber; Fibers in Ribbon 1-12; Fiber Diameter 125 µm; Cleave Angle 8° (±2°); Cleave Length 8-13 mm

Oxford Fiber’s Ox-RAC-08 is the right tool for angled cleaving of multiple optial fibers in a ribbon. This ability is truly unique and of great use to customers who want to connect optical fibers to planar optical waveguides such as lasers, detectors and splitters. The device’s cleave angle of 8° (±2°) is highly repeatable. The single mode (SM) ribbon fiber is clamped at two points and bent down onto a sharp diamond blade.

The optical fiber is cleaved so that its single mode core is at an angle of 8° from perpendicular so that the back-reflection is reduced. If you require a cleaver for any other fiber type or a custom cleaver tailored to your specifications, please get in touch with the AMS Technologies fiber cleaving experts.

USC XL Ultrasonic Cleaner
Extra Large Bowl; Max. Component Length 200 mm; Cleaning Cycle Time 3-48 s; Frequency Tuned Oscillation; Power Supply 100-240 VAC, 12 VDC 3SAE Technologies’ USC XL Ultrasonic Cleaner is a purpose-built ultrasonic cleaner specifically designed for fiber optic applications. Its unique wide bowl design is especially well-suited for cleaning long lengths of optical fiber and other large components up to 200 mm in length. Many years of cleaning experience went into the functional, ergonomic design that ensures consistent cleaning results. Cleaning is accomplished across the length of the bowl using dual transducers that generate a sweeping frequency that is optimized to target the various sizes of particles that adhere to fiber after removing the outer protective coating. Operation of the USC XL is easy and intuitive. Adjustable clamps are located across the width of the bowl which load "up" in a horizontal position and then tilt "down" to lower the fiber into the cleaner and facilitate quick loading and hands-free operation. Audible and visual indicators signal when the fiber should be removed. The duration of the cleaning can be adjusted quickly and easily to optimize cycle times for different fiber types and sizes. Ultrasonic cleaning has long been the preferred means of cleaning optical fibers for critical splicing applications. Today's high-power glass processing applications are sensitive to contamination and fatigue that results from hand cleaning and demand a thorough, non-contact cleaning alternative. Use of an ultrasonic cleaner ensures ultimate cleanliness and is essential for maximizing post process optical fiber performance and reliability. Key Features: Large and Wide Bowl for Cleaning Long Fiber Lengths or Components up to 200 mm in Length Adjustable Cleaning Times, Cycle Time: 3 to 48 s Frequency Tuned Oscillation No Calibration Required No PC Connection Required Included Cover Reduces Contamination and Evaporation Operator-independent and Hands-free Operation Dimensions: 44 x 23 x 22 cm Power Supply: 100 to 240 VAC, 12 VDC/12 A Application: Ultrasonic Cleaning of Optical Fiber and Other Large Components up to 200 mm in Length
