Pre-owned and in clean cosmetic condition with light handling and storage wear. This precision cleaver has not been tested on optical fiber, so cleave quality and remaining blade life are unknown. Please review all photographs carefully.
Professional Sumitomo Electric FC-6M precision fiber-optic cleaver with attached off-cut scrap collector and black storage pouch.
The cleaver body is marked FC-6M. With the attached fiber scrap collector, it represents Sumitomo’s FC-6M-C configuration.
Designed for precision cleaving of single fiber and ribbon fiber containing up to 12 fibers. Unlike the FC-6RM automatic-rotation model, the FC-6M uses a manually indexed cutting blade.
