Photon Kinetics FK12 Ultrasonic Angle Cleaver produces angled cleaves from 0–15º on 125 μm cladding bare fiber. Minimum bare fiber length (coating to cleave point) is 6 mm; max buffer diameter in left clamp is 900 μm. FK12 is factory set for 8º cleave on 125 μm singlemode. Alternate angles or diameters require 3 m fiber sample must be provided for evaluation and quote.
The FK11 & FK12 Fiber Optic Cleavers both employ an ultrasonic cleaving technology to produce flat, defect-free fiber end-faces. The standard FK11 is designed for cleaving standard telecom fibers in preparation for fusion splicing and fiber testing. Variants of the FK11 include the FK11-LDF for larger cladding diameter fibers, the FK11-SDF and FK11-USDF for small diameter fibers and the FK11-C for cleaving through the fiber coating.
The FK12 cleaver is capable of producing similar low angle fiber cleaves as the FK11, but its primary application is for creating fiber cleaves with a user-selectable end angle for low reflectance fiber terminations.
