Cometₓ-Si & Cometₓ-MT Laser Cleaver for Cleaving Single-fiber MTRJ and 8- or 12-fiber MT Fiber

Product Description

- Automated system integrating polishing and inspection on a single platform
For polishing, cleaning and optical inspection of critical fiber components, such as planar devices, V-groove fiber arrays, MT fiber assemblies and other components.

Product Advantages

   Eliminates cleave quality variation related to operators and tools
   Simplifies the polishing process and eliminates interdependencies
   Eliminates cleaving-related "core cracks" in multimode fiber
   Improves connector reliability – the laser "tempers/anneals" the fiber end face, eliminating inherent fiber stress
