Furukawa America Introduces Fitel(R) Single-Action Fiber Cleaver; Single-Action Cleaving for Hand-Held and Bench-Top Use.PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. -- Furukawa America Inc. introduced today a single-action fiber cleaver ergonomically designed for hand-held and bench-top operation. The FITEL FITEL First International Telecom (R) S325A unit successfully combines all four steps of a proper fiber cleave cleat, cleave claw of any cloven-footed animal. into a one-step button press that engages all four actions: applying tension to the fiber, scoring the fiber, precisely breaking the fiber, and disposing of waste fiber. The resulting increase in speed and ease of use makes the S325A optimal for challenging field installations such as Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTh/FTTx) and LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. installations. Developed by The Furukawa Electric Co., the FITEL S325A features a wide lid-top for easy fiber loading and an integrated high-capacity waste fiber chamber. The unit can precisely cleave single fiber with its single fiber adapter or cleave up to 12-fiber ribbon utilizing fiber holders. "A clean, high-quality fiber cleave is essential to the integrity of any fiber optic transmission system," said Jason Greene, manager of fusion splicer splice tr.v. spliced, splic·ing, splic·es 1. a.
