The Fujikura CT-03 High Precision Fiber Optic Cleaver delivers consistent, low-loss cleaves for single-mode and multi-mode optical fibers in field and laboratory environments. Built as a rugged, self-contained unit, it minimizes splice loss through precision cleaving and features a rotating circular blade mechanism that extends blade life while maintaining performance repeatability across operator skill levels.
## Technical Specifications

## Key Features
• Rotating circular blade design for extended operational life and consistent cleave quality
• Dual V-groove system supports both standard 250 µm and 900 µm coated fibers, plus custom diameters from 0.25–0.9 mm
• Engineered for reliable performance across single-mode and multi-mode fiber types
• Exceptional ease of use—delivers excellent results independent of operator experience
• Compact form factor suitable for mobile and bench-top deployment
## Typical Applications
• Field installation and splicing operations
• Laboratory fiber preparation and characterization
• Splice loss minimization in both SM and MM networks
• High-volume cleaving where blade longevity reduces consumable costs
## Compatibility & Integration
The CT-03 accepts Fujikura CT-03/04/07/100 blade cartridges. The unit integrates with the AD-03 adapter plate and operates within the broader CT-04B modular platform where applicable, enabling flexible system configurations for diverse fiber management workflows.
