TRITEC LAUNCH A NEW OPTICAL FIBRE CLEAVER WITH A UNIQUE AUTOMATIC WASTE FIBRE COLLECTOR

The new TCII+ optical fibre cleaving tool from TRITEC Developments cleaves both singlemode and multimode fibre producing end angles consistently less than 0.5°.

The TCII+ incorporates a unique patented mechanism which automatically collects cleaved fibre ends in an integral container. The waste fibre can then be disposed of later into a safe sharps bin, removing the need for sharps to be handled on the installation site.

Weighing less than 0.5kg and measuring 116 x 85 x 33 mm - the compact and rugged design makes the cleaver ideally suited for use in the laboratory or out in the field. The ergonomic design enables the cleaver to be operated in either hand with a single press of the button. Alternatively, a tripod mounting point is provided for bench-mounted operation.

The cleaver accepts coating diameters up to 2.5 mm. Using the scale provided cleaved ends can be produced with as little as 3 mm of bare fibre (on 250 µm diameter coated fibre).

The TCII+ was launched at Communications Engineering '96 Exhibition where TRITEC exhibited its established range of optical fibre installation equipment including the FASE II fusion splicer and HSO II heatshrink oven.
