Fujikura CT50 Fiber Optic Cleaver | Bluetooth Single Fiber Cleaver
Fujikura CT50 Fiber Optic Cleaver — Bluetooth-Enabled, High Precision The Fujikura CT50 (AFL CT50) is a professional-grade fiber optic cleaver designed for FTTH deployment, ribbon fiber splicing, and field maintenance. It delivers consistent cleave angles of ≤0.5° and supports up to 12-fiber simultaneous cleaving, making it the preferred choice for telecom contractors and network integrators worldwide. Unlike conventional cleavers, the CT50 uses Bluetooth 4.1 LE wireless communication to automatically rotate the cleaving blade based on real-time fiber condition data from a paired Fujikura fusion splicer. This eliminates manual blade management and extends blade life to a typical 60,000 cleaves. Key Features Supports up to 12-fiber cleaving (single fiber and ribbon) Automatic blade rotation via Bluetooth wireless communication with fusion splicer User-replaceable fiber clamps and cleaving blade — no service center required Blade life: typical 60,000 cleaves Wide lever opening angle for easy fiber placement Single-action operation including integrated fiber scrap collection Enhanced drop impact resistance: tested to 76 cm (30 in) all-direction drop Dust and rain resistant for field use Technical Specifications Model CT50 (AFL CT50) Applicable Fiber Silica optical fiber Fiber Count Up to 12 fibers Coating Diameter 160–900 μm; 2–3 mm cord and drop cable Cladding Diameter 125 μm Cleave Length 5–20 mm (with AD-10-M24); 10 mm using fiber holders Cleave Angle Typical ≤ 0.5° Blade Life Typical 60,000 cleaves Wireless Bluetooth® 4.1 LE — Android 5.0+, iOS 8.0+ (iPhone 6+) Dimensions 120 (W) × 95 (D) × 58 (H) mm Power Supply 2× AAA (LR03) batteries Weight 300 g Operating Conditions 0–40°C, 0–95% RH (non-condensing) Storage Conditions −40 to 80°C, 0–95% RH (non-condensing) Drop Resistance 76 cm (30 in), all directions Dust Resistance Alumina Silicate 0.1–500 μm Rain Resistance 10 mm/hr for 10 min Standard Package Contents 2× Fiber Plate, Spacer, Carrying Case, Hexagonal Wrench, Instruction Manual Frequently Asked Questions What is the Fujikura CT50 cleaver used for? The CT50 is used for precision cleaving of single and ribbon optical fibers in FTTH installations, backbone network splicing, and field maintenance. It is compatible with Fujikura fusion splicers including the FSM-88S, FSM-70S, and FSM-62S series. How does the CT50 Bluetooth feature work? The CT50 pairs with a compatible Fujikura fusion splicer via Bluetooth 4.1 LE. The splicer monitors cleave quality and automatically signals the CT50 to rotate the blade to a fresh position when needed — eliminating manual blade tracking and reducing downtime. What replacement blade does the Fujikura CT50 use? The CT50 uses the Fujikura CB-08 replacement blade, rated for 48,000 cleaves per blade position. The blade is user-replaceable without tools or service center visits.
