Sumitomo TYPE-FC-8R Ribbon Fiber Cleaver
High-precision ribbon cleaver for mass fusion splicing
The Sumitomo TYPE-FC-8R is a high-precision ribbon fiber cleaver built for 4-, 8- and 12-fiber mass-fusion workflows. A hardened automatic blade mechanism and integrated fiber-chip collection deliver consistently low cleave angles over the life of the blade, preparing ribbon ends for downstream mass-fusion splicers in data-center and backbone builds.
