The fluid may also be used to strip cladding modes from a bare fiber or to terminate fibers by dipping the fiber into the liquid. Unlike silicone-based fluid/gel, which is very difficult to remove completely, Newport’s Index- Matching Fluid can be removed simply with acetone. While the liquid will not evaporate, it is designed to be used on a temporary basis. Available in 6 cc syringes. Specifications and Ordering Information Model Viscosity (cps) Refractive Index F-IMF-105 100 1.52 @ 589 nm Kevlar® Shears Model F-KS Kelvar Shears provide an efficient solution for trimming Kevlar® strength members of fiber optic cables. This durable tool is made of hot-forged, high carbon steel with non-slip serrated blades. Overall length: 6.5 in., full cutting length: 0.625 in. Specifications and Ordering Information Model Description F-KS Kevlar Shears Manual Fiber Cleavers F-CLX-0 The Model F-BK2 Fiber Cleaver offers precise endface quality with clean edges and very little angle, free of lips, chips or hackle for better splice performance. The diamond edge provides over 1000 cleaves without replacement. The F-CLX Series rugged fiber cleavers are simple to operate and produce very high quality cleaves. Once the fiber is placed in the V-groove, the patented mechanism clamps, tenses, scribes and cleaves the fiber with a simple downward push of the top lever. The F-CLX-0-3 perpendicular cleaver provides a typical end angle of 0.25° and has an excellent cleave repeatability. The F-CLX-8-3 angle cleaves fibers to eliminate back reflections with an average angle of 8° and a standard deviation of 0.35°. Both versions offer a minimum cleave length of only 3 mm. Other features include a long-life blade angled to reduce stresses during cleaving and providing up to 20,000 cleaves — and a scale for gauging cleave lengths. F-RCL Series ribbon cleavers are available for angle cleaving 4-fiber or 8-fiber ribbons for pigtailing to arrays of photonic components. Both models angle cleave all fibers in the ribbon at 8° (0.35° standard deviation) with a cleave length set at 7-10mm.
