Photon Kinetics FK12 Ultrasonic Angle Cleaver
FK12
Photon Kinetics FK12 Ultrasonic Angle Cleaver for 125um Fiber
For producing cleaves with controlled end angles between 0 and 15º on bare fiber of 125 μm cladding diameter. Minimum bare fiber length (coating to cleave point) = 6mm. Maximum buffer diameter accepted in left hand clamp = 900μm.
The FK12 is factory set to cleave 125μm cladding diameter singlemode at an 8º angle.
If a different cleave angle or fiber diameter is required, a minimum 3 meter fiber sample must be provided for evaluation and quotation.

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.
