FITEL S326A Optical Fiber Cleaver | Single & 12-Ribbon, 48,000 Cleaves, 250g, Auto Waste Collection

FITEL S326A Optical Fiber Cleaver – Precision Single & Ribbon Fiber Cleaving in 250g

The FITEL S326A is a professional-grade optical fiber cleaver from FITEL (Japan), engineered for both single fiber and ribbon fiber applications in a single compact, ergonomic tool. Whether you’re working at a bench or in the palm of your hand in the field, the S326A delivers consistent, high-quality cleaves across all fiber types — from 250μm single fiber to 12-fiber ribbon — with a 48,000-cleave blade life (24 positions × 2,000 cleaves each) and automatic waste fiber collection that keeps your workspace clean and safe. At just 250g, it’s one of the lightest full-featured ribbon cleavers available.

Why Choose the FITEL S326A?

• Single to 12-Ribbon Fiber Capability: Cleaves all fiber counts from single fiber up to 12-fiber ribbon in one tool — eliminating the need for separate single and ribbon cleavers
• 48,000-Cleave Blade Life (24 Positions): Long-life blade with 24 indexed positions × 2,000 cleaves each — significantly lower cost per cleave than shorter-life blades
• Variable Cleave Length (3–20mm): Adjustable cleave length from 3mm to 20mm for single fiber, plus fixed 10mm and 16mm positions — compatible with virtually all fusion splicer requirements
• Automatic Waste Fiber Collection: One-press lever action simultaneously cleaves and collects waste fiber in the built-in bin — no loose fiber shards on the job site
• Wide Lid Opening Angle: Reduced lid size and wide opening angle facilitates fast fiber loading and improves stability for consistent cleave quality
• Ergonomic Dual-Use Design: Equally comfortable on a workbench or held in one hand in the field — ideal for both lab and outdoor installation environments
• Lightweight at 250g: One of the lightest ribbon-capable cleavers available — reduces fatigue during high-volume installation projects
• All Fiber Types Supported: Compatible with all standard fiber types (SM, MM, DS, NZ) with 125μm cladding diameter

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the FITEL S326A cleave ribbon fiber?
A: Yes. The S326A cleaves single fiber up to 12-fiber ribbon in a single tool. For ribbon fiber, it uses a fixed 10mm cleave length. For single fiber, it offers fixed 10mm and 16mm positions plus variable length from 3 to 20mm.

Q: How long does the blade last?
A: The S326A blade has 24 indexed positions, each rated for 2,000 cleaves — giving a total blade life of 48,000 cleaves. When one position is worn, simply rotate to the next position. This significantly reduces the cost per cleave compared to shorter-life blades.

Q: What fiber coating diameters does the S326A support?
A: For single fiber: 250μm to 900μm coating diameter. For ribbon fiber: 280μm to 400μm thickness. The included single fiber adaptor has two grooves for 250μm and 900μm fibers.

Q: Is the S326A compatible with all fusion splicers?
A: The S326A’s variable cleave length (3–20mm for single fiber, 10mm for ribbon) is compatible with virtually all fusion splicers on the market. Check your splicer’s required cleave length before use.
