AFL Telecommunications Introduces New Fiber Cleavers for High Tensile Strength and Small Diameter Fiber Cleaving.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers OFC OFC Office OFC Officer OFC Of Course OFC Oxygen Free Copper OFC Oceania Football Confederation (soccer) OFC Optical Fiber Cable OFC Optical Fiber Communications OFC Optical Fiber Conference 2003 SPARTANBURG, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 25, 2003 Alcoa's AFL AFL: see American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations. Telecommunications announces the release of two fiber cleavers designed for small diameter and high tensile strength tensile strength Ratio of the maximum load a material can support without fracture when being stretched to the original area of a cross section of the material. When stresses less than the tensile strength are removed, a material completely or partially returns to its fiber splicing splicing /splic·ing/ (spli´sing) 1. the attachment of individual DNA molecules to each other, as in the production of chimeric genes. 2. RNA s. . The HTC-20 fiber cleaver is a high precision fiber cleaver developed for cleaving silica fiber Technology for Manufacturing Silica fiber. Water-containing water glass fibers are disclosed, substantially free from non-alkaline compounds and having a water content of from about 15 to 30% by weight, a tear strength of from about 5 to 30 cN/tex, a ratio of alkaline oxide to designated lengths prior to fusion splicing. The cleaver features easy two-action cleaving with skill-free operation and automatic tension loading and fiber separation by magnet. The CT-28 is a variation of AFL's popular CT-20 series of fiber cleavers designed specifically for cleaving of 80 micron cladded fibers. The lightweight feature of this cleaver, combined with its easy one-step, ergonomic operation make the CT-28 both field friendly and suitable for factory splicing conditions. The CT-28 and HTC-20 will be on exhibit during the Optical Fiber Communication (OFC) conference March 25 - 28 in Atlanta.
