Ox-SAC-08 Diamond Angled Fiber Cleaver

Product information "Ox-SAC-08 Diamond Angled Fiber Cleaver"

Manual Angled Cleaver; Fiber Type SM, PM; Fiber Diameter 125 µm; Buffer Diameter 250-900 µm; Cleave Angle 8° (±2°); Min. Cleave Length 8 mm

Oxford Fiber’s Ox-SAC-08 is the world’s simplest angled cleaver. The single mode (SM) or polarization maintaining (PM) fiber is clamped under rubber rings at two points and bent down onto a sharp diamond blade.

The optical fiber is cleaved so that its single mode or polarization maintaining core is at an angle of 8° from perpendicular. This way, the back-reflection from the cleaved end facet is is reduced to <-60dB, avoiding optical noise in telecom systems or eliminating reflections in fiber sensor arrays.

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.
