Lightera SMA Diamond Cleave Tool
400 µm SMA diamond cleave tool (green spring)
The Lightera fiber cable family of HCS® 400 µm fibers, cables, and components are compatible with this termination system. Vertical integration takes the Lightera fiber cable V-System™ from fiber through cabling and connectorization while providing strength, durability, and ease of use and termination.
Using this tool, the outer cable jacket and fiber buffer can be stripped, a connector ferrule crimped over the fiber and onto the outer cable jacket; and the fiber is cleaved at its very bare end. The termination takes less than 2 minutes per end using an easy crimp and cleave process, which produces a high-quality end-face.
The process is completely mechanical, minimizing the impact of user error. Proper termination is easily verified by visible light.
