The CT-58 cleaver is designed specifically for cleaving silica fibres with 80μm cladding and up to 400μm coatings. It delivers unprecedented durability and simplistic maintenance unseen with any other cleaver, in part thanks to its Bluetooth connectivity and smartphone app, which makes it convenient to managed blade life. With motorised push-button blade rotation and a convenient thumbwheel for blade height adjustment, routine cleaver adjustments have also never been easier.

The 16-position blade yields 60,000 cleaves, resulting in extended intervals between blade replacement. The CT-58 is designed for use with either Fujikura FH-100 or FH-70 series fibre holders but can also be used with the optional adapter plate to eliminate the need for fibre holders, if desired. When used with the optional spacers for the cleaver and RS-03 thermal stripper, six different cleave lengths can be easily attained.

Splice+ is a smartphone application that works in cooperation with Fujikura's splicers, cleavers and ribbon fibre strippers which have Bluetooth capability.
