Fiber Cleavers Use:
Below are specific examples of how 3SAE Technologies fiber optic cleavers are used for standard and large diameter fiber processing in the fiber optic industry:
- Preparing Fiber Optic Ends: Before fusion splicing, the ends of optical fibers must be precisely prepared for a successful splice. The cleaver is used to make a clean, flat, and perpendicular cut on the fiber optic endface, ensuring that it is of high quality and suitable for fiber optic fusion splicing.
- Standard Fiber Optic Processing: 3SAE’s fiber optic cleavers are designed to handle standard single fibers, including single mode fiber (SMF), multi-mode fiber (MMF) and polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) which are commonly used in various fiber optic applications such as telecommunications, fiber optic sensors, optical components, and medical devices. The cleavers are engineered to achieve consistent and reliable cleaves in standard fiber optic diameters, typically 80µm to 125µm.
- Large Diameter Fiber Processing: In applications that require large diameter fibers (LDF), such as large mode area fiber (LMA), including round cladding and active shaped claddings and large core multimode fiber (MMF) used in laser cutting, welding, material processing, high energy laser systems and medical devices, 3SAE’s cleavers are tailored to accommodate large optical fibers with cladding diameters from 200µm to 2000µm and beyond.
- 3SAE’s fiber optic cleavers excel in processing a variety of specialty optical fibers. These include: Polarization-Maintaining Fibers (PMF), Photonic Crystal Fibers (PCF), Multi-Core Fibers (MCF), Hollow-Core Fibers (HCF). These cleavers are meticulously engineered to meet the specific demands of each fiber type, ensuring precise cleaves for peak performance.
- Precision and Repeatability: 3SAE Technologies’ optical fiber cleavers are designed to deliver exceptional precision and repeatability in cleaving. Each cleave is consistent and reliable, reducing signal loss and ensuring consistent fiber performance in various applications.
- Easy Operation: 3SAE’s cleavers are designed to be user-friendly, making them accessible to both experienced fiber optic professionals and newcomers in the industry. This ease of operation streamlines the fiber processing workflow and enhances overall efficiency.
By utilizing 3SAE Technologies fiber optic cleavers for standard and large diameter fiber processing, fiber optic professionals can achieve clean and precise cleaves, ensuring the highest quality splices and optimal fiber optic performance in a wide range of applications. These cleavers are integral to the success of fiber optic systems, making them indispensable tools in the industry.
