NYFORS releases AutoCleaver LDF in FITEL edition

Press information 20 July 2010

NYFORS introduces the AutoCleaver LDF™ fiber cleaver in a special FITEL edition, designed to be used with FITEL S183 and S184 series fusion splicers. Based on our proven and patented cleaving technology, this automated precision fiber cleaver produces consistent cleaves with mirror quality end-face finish on large diameter fibers from 230 μm up to 1000 μm in diameter.

In the FITEL edition it is now fully compatible with the FITEL S183-PM, S183-K, S183-PMII and S184-PM fusion splicers. Since the cleaver accepts standard FITEL S710S fiber holders, the cleaved fiber can be directly transferred to the splicer with no risk of touching or damaging the fiber end, making the fiber preparation process both easier and more efficient.

For smaller fiber dimensions FITEL fusion splicers can be used with the NYFORS standard AutoCleaver™.

NYFORS fiber cleavers AutoCleaver and AutoCleaver LDF are also compatible with Ericsson and Fujikura fusion splicers. Fiber holders for other fusion splicers are available upon request.
