Specialty splicers and accessories
CT52
Optical fibre cleaver
Durable and simple, with a motorised blade & smartphone control, the CT52 delivers effortless cleaving.
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
The CT52 provides unprecedented durability and simplistic maintenance unseen with any other cleaver.
The CT52’s blade life is easily managed and maximized via Bluetooth connection with a convenient smartphone app. Because the CT52 incorporates motorised push-button blade rotation and a convenient thumbwheel for blade height adjustment, routine cleaver adjustments are easy and convenient.
The 16-position blade delivers 60,000 cleaves, which means extended intervals between blade replacement. Although the CT52 is designed for use with either Fujikura FH-100 or FH-70 series fibre holders, it can also be used with the optional adapter plate to eliminate the need for fibre holders, if desired. When utilized with the optional spacers for the cleaver and RS series thermal stripper, the CT52 makes are six different cleave lengths possible. The CT52 also allows for a reduced cleave length of 8mm on 900μm jacketed fibres and as short as 3mm on 250μm and 400μm coated fibres.
Splice+ is a smartphone application that works in cooperation with Fujikura’s splicers, cleavers and ribbon fibre strippers which have Bluetooth capability.
Key Features
Automatic blade rotation
The fusion splicer and CT-52 fibre cleaver has wireless data connectivity which allows automatic cleaver blade rotation when the splicer judges the blade is worn.
Easy blade life management
The fusion splicer indicates the remaining blade life and also informs the user when a blade height change is required.
Simple maintenance
The CT-52 has a user replaceable blade and rubber clamps, so there’s no need to send the device to a service centre for blade or clamp replacement.
Easy access and longer stripped fibres
The CT-52 opens 100 degrees to offer easy access and can accommodate longer stripped fibres than previous models.

NOTES
[1] The optical fibre type, the blade condition or the operating environment may affect the cleaving angle. Since the measuring device has been changed from an interference microscope to a fusion splicer, this specification value is now higher than that of the previous model (CT-30). [2] The Bluetooth wireless connection of this product is not guaranteed to work with all 3 smartphones or other devices. Bluetooth is a registered trdemark of Bluetooth SIG, Inc. [3] The shock resistance test does not guarantee the product will not be damaged under these conditions.
