Fujikura CT16 Fiber Cleaver – Precision Cleaving for FTTH, FTTx & Field Deployments
The Fujikura CT16 is a compact, one-step fiber cleaver engineered for technicians who demand consistent cleave quality in tight spaces. Whether you're terminating drops at a small cell site, splicing in an MDF/IDF cabinet, or deploying fiber in rural areas, the CT16 delivers reliable performance in a rugged, pocket-sized form factor.
Its dual fiber adapter plate allows cleaving one or two bare fibers simultaneously when paired with the Fujikura SS-05 dual fiber stripper — doubling throughput on high-density FTTH jobs. The tool-less blade rotation dial and swappable scrap collector/fiber adapter make it equally comfortable for left- and right-handed technicians.
Key Features
- ✅ Dual fiber cleaving – cleave 1 or 2 fibers simultaneously (with SS-05 stripper)
- ✅ Ambidextrous design – swap scrap collector and adapter for left/right-hand use
- ✅ Tool-less blade rotation – thumbwheel dial for fast, easy blade indexing
- ✅ Field-replaceable blade & clamp pads – minimize downtime on-site
- ✅ Shock resistant – survives 30" drops in 6 orientations
- ✅ ~48,000 cleave blade life – 16 rotation positions × ~3,000 cleaves each
- ✅ Compact form factor – 106 × 95.5 × 49 mm, ~190 g with adapter
Typical Use Cases
- FTTH / FTTx drop terminations and splices
- Small cell site fiber preparation
- MDF / IDF cabinet splicing and terminations
- Rural fiber deployments and emergency restorations
- Paired with Fujikura fusion splicers (70S, 62S, 41S series) for end-to-end field workflow

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the CT16A and CT16B?
A: The CT16A and CT16B are variants of the CT16 platform. The CT16B typically includes an updated fiber adapter configuration. Both share the same core cleaving mechanism and blade (CB-09). Contact us to confirm which variant is in stock.
Q: Can the CT16 cleave ribbon fiber?
A: No. The CT16 is designed for single bare fibers (up to 2 simultaneously). For ribbon fiber cleaving, consider the Fujikura CT50 or CT08 series.
Q: Does the CT16 work with Fujikura fusion splicers?
A: Yes. The CT16 is fully compatible with Fujikura's 41S, 62S, and 70S series fusion splicers and produces cleave lengths optimized for their splice holders.
Q: How do I rotate the blade?
A: Use the thumbwheel dial on the bottom of the cleaver. No tools required. The blade has 16 rotation positions for maximum life.
Q: Is a fiber holder included?
A: No. FH-60 and FH-70 series fiber holders are optional and sold separately. The included AD-16A adapter plate supports bare fiber up to 900 µm coating diameter.
Note: Cleave angle specifications are measured with an interferometer at room temperature using a new blade. Actual performance may vary with blade condition, environmental factors, and operating technique.
