Sumitomo FC-6C+ Precision Optical Fiber Cleaver
One-Action Bench-Top Cleaver with Auto Return & Off-Cut Collector
The Sumitomo FC-6C+ is a high-precision bench-top optical fiber cleaver designed for fast single-fiber and mass ribbon fiber preparation. Featuring a one-action cleaving mechanism with automatic blade return and an integrated off-cut collector, it provides high field efficiency and reliable low-angle cleaves.
- Manufacturer: Sumitomo Electric Industries
- Category: Bench-Top Optical Fiber Cleavers
- Fiber Compatibility: Single Fibers (250 µm & 900 µm) & Up to 12-Fiber Ribbons
Key Features & Highlights
- One-Action Cleave Operation: Integrates scoring, cleaving, and automatic blade return into a single smooth motion to accelerate field workflow.
- Automatic Off-Cut Collector: Built-in scrap collection system automatically gathers sharp off-cut glass shards into an internal container upon opening the cover.
- High-Precision Cleaving: Precision-engineered blade delivers a typical cleave angle of 0.5°, minimizing loss in fusion splicing and mechanical terminations.
- Long Blade Lifespan: Durable circular blade yields up to 54,000 fiber cleaves across 24 selectable positions.
- Single & Mass Ribbon Support: Accommodates single fibers as well as multi-fiber ribbons up to 12 cores.
