Fujikura CT52 Fiber Cleaver for Single and Ribbon Fibers

Fujikura CT52 Fiber Cleaver

The Fujikura CT52 Fiber Cleaver is a durable, precision fiber preparation tool designed for use with Fujikura factory-model fusion splicers. It supports single-mode and multimode optical fiber, as well as ribbon fiber configurations containing up to 12 fibers. Its straightforward operation, motorized blade rotation, Bluetooth connectivity, and field-serviceable design make it a practical choice for production, laboratory, specialty fiber, and professional fusion splicing workflows.

Accurate fiber cleaving is an essential step in fusion splicing. A clean, consistent fiber end-face helps support proper fiber alignment and reliable splice performance. The CT52 combines precise mechanical construction with simplified blade management to help technicians maintain consistent preparation across repeated cleaving operations.

Modified clamping pads allow the CT52 to accommodate shorter cleave lengths when working with fiber coatings larger than 250 µm. The cleaver can be operated with compatible Fujikura FH-70 or FH-100 Series fiber holders. An optional adapter plate also allows supported fibers to be cleaved without conventional fiber holders when required.

Durable, Simple Fiber Preparation with the Fujikura CT52

The Fujikura CT52 Fiber Cleaver is engineered to simplify routine operation and maintenance. Motorized push-button blade rotation helps manage blade position, while the blade-height thumbwheel makes routine adjustment more accessible.

• Motorized blade rotation: Advances the blade position through a push-button mechanism to simplify blade management.
• Extended blade life: The 16-position blade provides an estimated service life of approximately 60,000 fiber cleaves.
• Bluetooth connectivity: Works with supported smartphone applications for blade-life management and compatible workflow functions.
• Simple one-step operation: Supports efficient fiber preparation in production, laboratory, and specialty splicing environments.
• Single and ribbon fiber support: Cleaves single-mode, multimode, and ribbon fibers containing up to 12 fibers.
• Flexible fiber holding: Compatible with Fujikura FH-70 and FH-100 Series fiber holders, with optional adapter plates available.
• Shock-resistant construction: Designed for durability during professional use and transport.
• Field-serviceable design: The blade and clamp arm are replaceable to support long-term maintenance.

Advanced Features and Benefits of the Fujikura CT52 Fiber Cleaver

The Fujikura CT52 combines automated blade positioning with manual adjustment options. Its motorized blade rotation helps users manage the 16 available blade positions, while a manual rotation dial is also provided. A convenient thumbwheel supports blade-height adjustment without making routine cleaver maintenance unnecessarily complicated.

Bluetooth 4.1 LE connectivity enables communication with Fujikura’s supported Splice+ smartphone application. This connection can help users manage blade usage and coordinate the cleaver with compatible Fujikura equipment. Application availability and device compatibility should be confirmed for the intended operating environment.

The CT52 supports several fiber preparation configurations. The AD-10-M24 adapter plate accommodates coating diameters up to 900 µm, while the AD-50 configuration supports coating diameters up to 3 mm. The achievable cleave-length range depends on the selected adapter, fiber coating diameter, and fiber-holder configuration.

When used with compatible spacers for the cleaver and Fujikura RS Series thermal strippers, six coordinated cleave lengths can be obtained. This helps support repeatable preparation when the stripping and cleaving tools must be configured for matching fiber lengths.

The cleaver may also be mounted using its 1/4-20 UNC tripod screw hole. This can provide additional stability for specialized workstations, production benches, or applications where a fixed cleaver position is preferred.
