Fujikura CT16 Fiber Cleaver – Precision Cleaving for FTTH, FTTx & Field Deployments

Fujikura CT16 Fiber Cleaver – Precision Cleaving for FTTH, FTTx & Field Deployments The Fujikura CT16 is a compact, one-step fiber cleaver engineered for technicians who demand consistent cleave quality in tight spaces. Whether you're terminating drops at a small cell site, splicing in an MDF/IDF cabinet, or deploying fiber in rural areas, the CT16 delivers reliable performance in a rugged, pocket-sized form factor. Its dual fiber adapter plate allows cleaving one or two bare fibers simultaneously when paired with the Fujikura SS-05 dual fiber stripper — doubling throughput on high-density FTTH jobs. The tool-less blade rotation dial and swappable scrap collector/fiber adapter make it equally comfortable for left- and right-handed technicians. Key Features ✅ Dual fiber cleaving – cleave 1 or 2 fibers simultaneously (with SS-05 stripper) ✅ Ambidextrous design – swap scrap collector and adapter for left/right-hand use ✅ Tool-less blade rotation – thumbwheel dial for fast, easy blade indexing ✅ Field-replaceable blade & clamp pads – minimize downtime on-site ✅ Shock resistant – survives 30" drops in 6 orientations ✅ ~48,000 cleave blade life – 16 rotation positions × ~3,000 cleaves each ✅ Compact form factor – 106 × 95.5 × 49 mm, ~190 g with adapter Typical Use Cases FTTH / FTTx drop terminations and splices Small cell site fiber preparation MDF / IDF cabinet splicing and terminations Rural fiber deployments and emergency restorations Paired with Fujikura fusion splicers (70S, 62S, 41S series) for end-to-end field workflow Technical Specifications Parameter Specification Applicable Fiber Single-mode & Multimode, 125 µm cladding Fiber Count Up to 2 single bare fibers Cleave Length (AD-16A) 5–20 mm (≤250 µm coating); 10–20 mm (251–900 µm) Cleave Angle Avg. 0.3°–0.9° (single fiber, new blade) Blade Life ~48,000 cleaves Dimensions (W×D×H) 106 × 95.5 × 49 mm (top lever closed) Weight ~190 g (with AD-16A adapter) Operating Temperature -10°C to +50°C Storage Temperature -40°C to +80°C Humidity 0–95% RH (non-condensing) Drop Resistance 30" (76 cm) in 6 orientations What's in the Box Item Model Qty Fiber Cleaver CT16 1 Scrap Collector FDB-06 1 Fiber Adapter (up to 900 µm coating) AD-16A 1 Hex Wrench (1.5 mm) HEX-01 1 Instruction Manual M-CT16-C 1 Carry Case — 1 Optional Accessories AD-16B – Fiber adapter for up to 3.0 mm jacket diameter CB-09 – Replacement cleaver blade ARM-CT16-01 – Replacement fiber clamp pads FH-60 / FH-70 series – Fiber holders (sold separately) Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is the difference between the CT16A and CT16B? A: The CT16A and CT16B are variants of the CT16 platform. The CT16B typically includes an updated fiber adapter configuration. Both share the same core cleaving mechanism and blade (CB-09). Contact us to confirm which variant is in stock. Q: Can the CT16 cleave ribbon fiber? A: No. The CT16 is designed for single bare fibers (up to 2 simultaneously). For ribbon fiber cleaving, consider the Fujikura CT50 or CT08 series. Q: Does the CT16 work with Fujikura fusion splicers? A: Yes. The CT16 is fully compatible with Fujikura's 41S, 62S, and 70S series fusion splicers and produces cleave lengths optimized for their splice holders. Q: How do I rotate the blade? A: Use the thumbwheel dial on the bottom of the cleaver. No tools required. The blade has 16 rotation positions for maximum life. Q: Is a fiber holder included? A: No. FH-60 and FH-70 series fiber holders are optional and sold separately. The included AD-16A adapter plate supports bare fiber up to 900 µm coating diameter. Note: Cleave angle specifications are measured with an interferometer at room temperature using a new blade. Actual performance may vary with blade condition, environmental factors, and operating technique.
