You don't need to close the clamp on the cleaver. Just hold the fiber like a pencil with about an inch and a half sticking out and press it into the groove on the cleaver and close the paddle. It saves some time when you're doing a lot of burns.
I like the independent control of your cleaver, the only downfall is more equipment to haul around with the fusion splicer. When I'm in a lift or bucket, the less the better. I use a UCL Swift K4F and it's all contained in one. Strips, cleaves, cleans, fuses, tensile tests, and heats the supportive shrink. It's about twice the price, my only complaint is the cleaver is not manually adjustable, so attempting to re-cleave on an cut with intolerable angle means redoing the whole process or pulling out my corning manual kit. Thanks for sharing! going to look into this cleaver!
very nice youtube channel brother. I started also 2 months ago. Can you send me picture of your cleaning tissues. I want to buy them. Greetings from Munich
When those jaws close by themselves it looks like a sci fi gadget like it was about to heat and fix it up like the cut never happened. Real Wal-E moment
I'm curious, what is your process for this? That's how we were trained by Corning, Fujikura and AFL. It always got us great results and we meet the life expectancy of the electrodes. That being said, this video was originally to demonstrate an issue with "TenyFiber" and how brittle the fiber was. The reps requested it and also said we were doing things according to their procedures. The equivalent Corning fiber never gave us these issues.
I agree, and we did, but this was a video we did at the request of the "TenyFiber" reps to show them how brittle their fiber was. They wanted to see our process and verify it wasn't something we were doing. The equivalent Corning fiber never had this issue, same cleaver, cleaner and splicer.
Cleaver I use at work doesn’t have that clamp that holds down the fiber right before you make the cut. Is this an accessory that comes with the tool or is it a separate part? If so what is it called so I can get one for my cleaver. Thanks in advance for your response
@@TheLuigiSwagthe clamp isn’t necessary at all for a clean cleave, it slows you’re progress and doesn’t make a difference if that’s what you’re aiming for. I use the same cleaver and it’s worth the $600 if you do buttsplices often
Wait how does that work? Does it use glue or heat? How can it make a seamless transition between the fibers? How can it maintain the gradient of refractive index?
В России она называется 80s и стоит ровно в двое дешевле чем 70s в США. Связано это с тем, что в 2014 году она стоила 300’000₽=10’000$, а когда рубль упал в два раза, фирма Fujikura дабы не терять рынок скинула цену для России сразу в два раза до 5000$=300’000₽ 😅
