Many customers have notified AFL that they purchased a Fujikura Fusion Splicer from an unauthorized distributor resulting in no warranty or technical support. If you are in the process of purchasing a Fujikura Fusion Splicer in the United States, Canada, Central America and the Caribbean, please verify the company is an authorized AFL Telecommunications distributor.

Fusion Splicing Systems - Fiber Cleavers
AFL Telecommunications offers the most extensive and complete line of fusion splicers and related equipment for field splicing and factory/laboratory use. Our Fujikura splicers are the most widely used in the world, and known for their performance, productivity and reliability. And all our splicers are backed by our Technical Support Team.
We sell our fusion splicing equipment in the following regions: United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America & Carribean.
CT-30 Series Fiber Cleavers The CT-30 Cleaver sets the standard for portable, reliable and ease of use. Available for either single fiber or ribbon splicing (up to 12 fiber ribbons) applications, the CT-30 Cleavers are compatible with all AFL Telecommunications fusion splicers.
Pocket Cleaver The CT-02 is designed to cleave fibers for mechanical splicing and temporary termination. The CT-02 is not recommended for cleaving single-mode fibers prior to fusion splicing.
CT-32 Precision Fiber Cleaver The CT-32 is a modified version of our standard cleaver model CT-30. The modifications allow use of a spacer system that provides for the full range of acceptable cleave lengths for use with our factory fusion splicer models FSM-45F & 45PM. The CT-32 also allows for a reduced cleave length of 8mm on 900μm jacketed fibers and as short as 3mm on 250μm and 400μm coated fibers.
CT-38 Precision Fiber Cleaver The CT-38 cleaver is designed for cleaving silica fibers with 80μm cladding. Utilizing
the same one step design of our popular CT-30 cleaver, the CT-38 is quick, easy, and dependable. The 16 position blade yields 48,000 cleaves by providing for blade height and position adjustments.
AutoCleaver The AutoCleaver is a fully automatic, ultra high precision fiber cleaver with a typical cleave angle of less than 0.3°. Designed for industrial applications where high accuracy, reliability and production yield are required, the AutoCleaver has a built-in microprocessor which controls all vital parameters and settings such as fiber positioning, clamping, fiber tension and the exact position and speed of the diamond blade. The cleaver can be connected to an external PC from which all programmable parameters and settings can be accessed.
AutoCleaverLDF
The AutoCleaverLDF is a high precision fiber cleaver designed for cleaving circular Large Diameter Fibers up to 1200µm. The unique and patent-pending cleaving process generates typical cleave angles of less than 0.5°. Cleaving performance is enhanced by the use of fiber handling kits optimized for a specific fiber dimension. With an automatic waste disposal system that removes hazardous fiber scraps, the cleaver is designed to generate minimum amounts of fiber waste, typically less than 20mm.
AutoCleaver S1
When a specific and accurate bare fiber length is required, the AutoCleaver S1 provides the perfect cleave every time. Sensing the edge of the coating and adjusting the bare fiber length according to the customers' specifications, the AutoCleaver S1 cleaves 80µm and 125µm fibers automatically. Cleave angles are typically under 0.3° with excellent end face quality.
AutoCleaver S2
The AutoCleaver S2 contains special fiber clamps with air pressure controlled clamping forces. Coupled with modified software, these features enable the AutoCleaver S2 to handle otherwise difficult-to-cleave fibers. The clamping force of the fiber clamps is set individually by changing the air pressure.
CleaveMeterLDF
The CleaveMeterLDF is a non-contact (Michelson) interferometer used to examine all types of large diameter fibers with a cladding diameter of 250-1200µm. The optical system consists of a CCD camera with two user-selectable magnifications. Connected to the USB-port of an external PC, parameters and settings are programmed from the PC.
PowerCleave™ To complement the line of world class splicing systems, AFL Telecommunications' PowerCleave™ high-strength cleaver combines the precision of an ultrasonic cleaver with the ease and improved fiber management of the Fujikura fiber holder system.
