Every fusion splice starts with a cleave, and a poor cleave cannot be rescued by a good splicer. Yet the traditional cleaving routine — clamp, score, bend, check — leaves room for variation every single time, especially when a crew is working fast on site. The K-35 one-step fiber cleaver removes that variation: load the fiber, press once, and the cleave is done.
One press does the whole job
The K-35 is a fully automatic one-step cleaver. A single pressing motion completes the precision cleave — no multi-step operation, no sequence for a new technician to get wrong. Because the motion is always the same, the result is always the same, whether it is the first cleave of the morning or the two hundredth of the day. For crew leaders, that means faster training and fewer re-cleaves holding up the splicer.
Single fiber and ribbon, one tool
One cleaver covers the whole day’s work. The K-35 cuts single fibers and ribbon fiber of 1 to 12 fibers, handling bare fiber of 125 μm with coating diameters of 0.25, 0.9 and 3.0 mm, at cleave lengths from 9 to 16 mm. The same unit moves from an FTTH drop installation in the morning to ribbon splicing in a distribution cabinet in the afternoon, without a tool change or a second cleaver in the case.
Built for repeatable accuracy
Consistency is in the numbers: a cleave angle of ≤ 0.5° keeps splice loss low, and the blade is rated for 24 positions at more than 2,000 cleaves per position — over 48,000 cleaves before the blade itself needs replacing. The units in the photo above are finished K-35s in their protective cases on our packing table: each one is checked before it is boxed, because a cleaver that leaves here becomes the reference tool in someone else’s kit.
If your crews cleave all day, the K-35 is worth a trial. Send us the fiber types you work with and the quantity you need, and we will reply with factory pricing (EXW) and lead time — use the quote form on the K-35 product page or write to silvia@licoom.com.
