Ox-RAC-08
The Ox-RAC-08 is the world’s only ribbon angled cleaver. The single mode fiber ribbon is stripped and clamped under rubber rings at two points and bent down onto a sharp diamond blade. All optical fibers are cleaved simultaneously. Each fiber is cleaved at an angle of 8° from perpendicular and each fiber has a back-reflection of <-60dB.
