Ox-SAC-08
The Ox-SAC-08 is the world’s simplest angled cleaver. The single mode fiber is clamped under rubber rings at two points and bent down onto a sharp diamond blade. The optical fiber is cleaved so that its single mode core is at an angle of 8° from perpendicular so that the back-reflection is reduced to <-60dB.
