Oxford's Angled Cleaver for FTTx applications Oxford Fiber is developing a field-rugged series of fiber cleaving tools which can be used to create reliable mechanical splices. Oxford will launch the world's most rugged angled fiber cleaver offering cleaved ends with back-reflections guaranteed < -65dB when used with index-matching gel, even at temperature extremes.
	University of Manchester, UK - Laser Photonics Group The Laser Photonics Group knew it needed to find a partner with the experience necessary to provide them with a solution to a unique problem. To develop a "Cladding Pumped Fiber Amplifier", they needed to use rectangular fiber. Consequently they required a cleaver that could deliver a precise cleave for rectangular fiber with a large diameter. At first these requirements presented them with an insurmountable problem as no other company was willing to develop such a specialized cleaver. Oxford quickly recognized the scope of the problem and  successfully delivered such a cleaver - the OFC 2000/390R. It is suitable for the perpendicular cleaving of rectangular Silica fiber in the range 330um x 110um to 390um x 130um cross section. As well as providing The Photonics Group with a unique solution, the cleaver is easy to use and achieves good results (cleaves of < 1 degree). Because of our reputation in the field of optical fiber cleaver technology, companies and research institutions know that Oxford has the expertise in the right areas to deliver their requirements.
