CONDITION:
Pre-owned with light scratches, marks and cosmetic wear from normal professional use and storage. The leather-style drawstring pouch also shows visible edge and surface wear. This cleaver has not been tested on optical fiber, so cleave quality and remaining blade life are unknown.
Professional Sumitomo Electric FC-6M precision fiber-optic cleaver with attached fiber off-cut scrap collector and black leather-style drawstring storage pouch.
The cleaver body is marked FC-6M. Because the fiber scrap collector is attached, this represents Sumitomo’s FC-6M-C configuration.
Designed for accurate cleaving of both single optical fiber and ribbon fiber containing up to 12 fibers. The FC-6M uses a manually indexed multi-position cutting blade.
