York FK12 Fiber Cleaver

The FK12 Angled Fiber Cleaver sets the standard for low reflectance fiber termination of better than -60 dB. Fast and repeatable cleaving of fiber ends at user-selectable cleave angles (0 degrees to 15 degrees) make it possible for installers to reduce the reflectance of mechanical splices and other fiber terminations without the use of index-matching gels. The FK12 is the tool of choice when quick fiber termination and low return loss are required for minimum cost.

Features:

• Provides tension prior to cleaving for a clean cleave, ensuring no damage to glass.
• Long life with durable blade provides extended use.
• Versatile – cleaves a wide range of fiber types and sizes.
• Clean – no contamination during cleaving.
• Easy-to-use – fast terminations reduce installation or pigtailing costs.
