Sumitomo FC-6S+ High-Precision Single-Fiber Cleaver

One-Action Bench-Top Cleaver with Auto Blade Return & Off-Cut Collector

The Sumitomo FC-6S+ is a high-precision bench-top single-fiber cleaver designed for fast optical fiber preparation. Featuring a single-action cleaving mechanism with automatic blade return, a pre-fitted single fiber adapter, and an off-cut collection box, it provides clean 0.5° cleave angles for FTTH, access, and enterprise fiber deployments.

  • Manufacturer: Sumitomo Electric Industries
  • Category: Single-Fiber Precision Optical Cleavers
  • Fiber Compatibility: Single Fibers (250 µm, 900 µm coated, & Drop Cables)

Key Features & Highlights

  • One-Action Cleave System: Combines fiber scoring, cleaving, and automatic carriage return into a single step for faster operation.
  • Long Blade Lifetime: Field-replaceable circular blade yields up to 54,000 cleaves (2,250 cleaves across 24 positions).
  • Off-Cut Collector (FB-FC6SA): Simple integrated scrap collector safely traps cut glass ends upon cover opening.
  • Pre-Fitted Single Fiber Adapter: Comes standard with an adapter accommodating 250 µm bare fiber, 900 µm tight buffer, and flat drop cables.
  • Consistent Low-Loss Cuts: Delivers an average cleave angle of 0.5°, reducing optical insertion loss prior to fusion splicing.
