Perpendicular Cleaver
Item# HSTC-2001
The HSTC-2001 gives a perpendicular cleave for 125µm diameter SM, MM and PM fiber to within 0.5° from the perpendicular suitable for splicing or pigtailing to photonic components. The cleaver clamps the coating of the fiber avoiding damage and giving a high strength cleave. It achieves a minimum cleave length as short as 2mm and is very simple to use.

Features:
- Detachable clip for high-strength low-contact cleaving
- Square fiber end; average angle < 0.5 degrees
- High reliability cleaving
- Cleaves singlemode, multimode and PM optical fiber
- Easy to use with "stapler" action
- 250µm coating clip supplied as standard

Benefits:
- Performance:          Average cleave angle < 0.5 degrees
- Reliability:                99% of cleave angles < 1.0 degrees
- High strength:        Low-contact cleaving for high reliability components
- Long Lifetime:        Multi-position diamond blade
                                     Low blade damage
                                     Rugged construction

Optional factory settings:
400µm and 900µm coating clip available by reqest from the factory
