Fiber cleaver Inno Instrument V7/V7+

Fiber cleaver Inno Instrument V7/V7+ – Easy to use, traditional operation model

Fiber cleaver Inno Instrument V7/V7+ is a preceise fiber cleaver for cleaving a traditional 125 um fiber (both singe fiber and ribbon fiber applications). V7 (and it’s newer revision, V7+) includes a scrap collector mechanism and a container for collecting fiber cut-offs safely.

Fiber cleaver Inno Instrument V7/V7+ operation is 3-staged. First you insert fiber and attach it to the holder while closing the lid. Then, you press the rig with cleaver blade attached to it. This will cut the fiber. Lastly, open up the lid, which activates the mechanism for collecting fiber scarp into the container.

Fiber scrap safely into the scrap collector

Unit has an automated scrap collector that operates simulateously with the cleaving process. This mechanism will collect the potentially dangerous scrap pieces and secure them into the scrap contained, positioned in the side of the unit. Please note: user should empty this container after each usage, into a separate container with lockable lid. Fiber cut-off pieces can cause a long term hazard if not handled properly. Please make sure the user is aware of the correct, safe procedure prior to use.

Please ask our professionals for advice on how to handle the fiber properly before the first use.

Protective grease inside cables causing trouble

The protective grease that is being used commonly in direct buried cables, is the cause of most maintenance visits for fiber cleaving and splicing tools.This grease should be removed with a proper solvent; not only using IPA (isopropyl alcohol), which in turn is suitable for cleaning the fibers for splicing after cleaving.

This protective grease forms a small layer on top of the coating and will be transferred on the v-grooves of both cleaver and splicer. Eventually, this layer of coating will accumulate and will lower tha accuracy of the splicer alignment procedure. Removing this grease layer with a proper solvent, has a great impact on maintenance frequency of splicers an cleavers.

For grease removal, we recommend using:

• TL 3 Industrial solvent (by Solmaster), https://www.solmaster.fi/tuotteet/tl-3-teollisuusliuotin/

Default legacy models splicers, option for others

This model of cleaver is included by default e.g. into following splicer packages:

• Inno Instrument View 6S

This model can be chosen as an option for all of our splicer models.
