When working with fiber optic cables, precision matters. A poorly cleaved fiber end can result in high insertion loss, poor fusion splicing, and signal degradation, leading to unreliable network performance.
This is where the Fujikura CT-16 Fiber Cleaver makes a difference. Designed for single fiber cleaving, it ensures that every cut is precise, smooth, and optimized for high-performance splicing.

Now available at Fiber-Life, this cleaver is a game-changer for fiber optic engineers looking for efficiency and accuracy in their splicing workflow.
What Makes the Fujikura CT-16 Fiber Cleaver Special?
Unlike conventional fiber cleavers, the Fujikura CT-16 offers:
- One-Step Cleaving – Reduces manual effort, making fiber preparation faster.
- Auto Blade Rotation – Extends blade life and ensures consistent performance.
- Minimal Fiber Waste – Designed to minimize fiber debris and scrap.
- Compact & Lightweight Design – Ideal for both fieldwork and lab use.
- Precision Engineered – Ensures clean, low-angle cuts for optimal splicing.
This cleaver is built to enhance efficiency in fusion splicing, fiber optic maintenance, and R&D applications.
How the Fujikura CT-16 Works: Step-by-Step Guide
- Prepare the Fiber – Strip and clean the fiber for cleaving.
- Insert the Fiber – Secure the fiber in the CT-16 cleaver.
- Activate the Cleaver – The automatic blade delivers a clean, precise cut.
- Retrieve the Cleaved Fiber – Ready for fusion splicing or optical testing.
With this streamlined process, the CT-16 improves workflow efficiency, reducing cleaving errors and enhancing splicing success rates.
Where Can the Fujikura CT-16 Be Used?
- Fusion Splicing – Ensures low-loss splicing for fiber networks.
- FTTx Deployments – Supports fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and broadband rollouts.
- Data Centers – Essential for high-speed fiber network maintenance.
- Research Labs – Used in optical component testing and development.
