To prepare two fiber cables for splicing—specifically to ensure the ends to be joined are properly aligned—they must be cut cleanly at a 90-degree angle. The fiber cleaver is designed for this task. If the cleaver fails to cut the fiber cleanly, the fusion splicer may reject the fibers and refuse to perform the splice, or—if the splice is attempted anyway—it may result in high back-reflection. For these reasons, using a high-quality fiber cleaver is essential. At iFiber, we offer fiber cleavers that deliver the best results at the most competitive prices.
