The Fujikura CT50 is a high-precision optical fiber cleaver that handles single fibers and up to 16-fiber ribbon in both single-mode and multimode. Its motorized blade delivers roughly 60,000 cleaves before replacement, and a Bluetooth link lets a paired 90S+ splicer rotate the blade automatically when wear is detected. The compact, battery-powered body makes it well suited to field FTTx and splicing work.

Key features

• Cleaves single fiber and up to 16-fiber ribbon, single-mode or multimode
• Low cleave angles: avg. 0.3-0.9° single fiber, 0.3-1.2° ribbon
• Motorized blade rotation (also a manual dial) with approx. 60,000 cleaves per blade
• Bluetooth 4.1 LE link enables automatic blade rotation when paired with a Fujikura 90S+ splicer
• Compact and light (approx. 306 g) with AAA-battery power for field use
• Replaceable blade and clamp arm; fiber-scrap collector for off-cut management
