Spartanburg, SC – AFL, an international manufacturer of fiber optic cable, connectivity and accessories, introduces the Fujikura large diameter cleaver family.

The CT-105+ fiber cleaver features an automatic clamping system for fiber with 80 to 1,250 µm cladding diameter. The CT-106+ fiber cleaver features an automatic clamping system for fiber with 80 to 1,250 µm cladding diameter and an angled cleaving function (up to 15° on fibers up to 800 µm).
