THE FIBERCORE OFC-2000

Precision Optical Fiber Cleaver

Fibercore OFC-2000
Fibercore OFC-2000
Typical cleave angle of 0.34°
Mirror-like clear surface – minimal blade-damage
Simple, two-step ‘load and cleave’ action
Special versions for 80 µm fiber or 8° angled cleaves

Cleaves directly through polyimide coatings – without stripping

Whether you are preparing fibers for fusion splicing, QA measurement or experimentation, the OFC-2000 will give you a perfect, mirror-smooth cleave – good splices and consistent measurements, every time. Precision cleaving could not be simpler – load the fiber in, then press. No more complex sequences, clamps, tensioners, batteries or slides – just two simple steps, just like a stapler.


The OFC-2000 series is exceptionally versatile, with both straight and angle-cleave models suitable for every fiber in the Fibercore Limited range – including all 80 µm and HiBi fibers. The OFC-2000 will even cleave directly through the polyimide coating of Fibercore Limited HB800P and HB1250P fibers – without the need for time-consuming and potentially hazardous fiber stripping.
