Description
VD-50 Precision Fiber Optic Cleaver – Fibre Cable Cutting Tool for Fusion Splicing & FTTH
The VD-50 Precision Fiber Optic Cleaver is a professional fibre cable cutting tool designed to produce clean, precise and consistent fibre cleaves for fusion splicing and cold mechanical joint applications. Its convenient one-step automatic cutting mechanism allows technicians to complete the cleaving process quickly with minimal effort, making it ideal for FTTH installations, fibre optic repairs, telecommunications and network maintenance.
With a durable tungsten steel blade, 24 cutting positions, approximately 48,000 cleaves, adjustable blade height and a 3-in-1 universal fibre holder, the VD-50 provides excellent versatility and long-term reliability for professional fibre technicians.
Key Features
One-Step Automatic Cleaving: Simply close the lid to activate the cutting mechanism for fast and efficient fibre preparation.
Automatic Slide Rail Rebound: The slide rail automatically resets after cutting, supporting quick one-handed operation.
Long-Life Tungsten Steel Blade: Features 24 cutting positions and a lifespan of up to approximately 48,000 cuts.
High-Precision Cleaving: Produces a precise cleave with an approximate 0.6° cleave angle.
3-in-1 Universal Fibre Fixture: Supports different fibre and cable sizes without requiring separate holders.
Built-In Measurement Scale: Integrated measurements make fibre preparation more convenient without needing a separate ruler.
Wide Fibre Compatibility: Suitable for 0.25mm bare fibre, 0.9mm fibre, 3.0mm fibre and 3.0 × 2.0mm drop cable.
Removable Waste Fibre Box: Collects glass fibre offcuts to help keep the working area clean and reduce the risk of contact with sharp fibre waste.
Safety Lock: Locking mechanism helps secure the cleaver during transportation and storage.
Adjustable Blade Height: Blade height can be calibrated using the adjustment screws underneath the unit.
Heavy-Duty Construction: Durable construction with smooth slide rails and rust-resistant components.
Versatile Splicing Applications: Suitable for both hot melt fusion splicing and cold mechanical joint splicing.

3-in-1 Universal Fibre Holder
The VD-50 incorporates a versatile 3-in-1 fibre fixture for different fibre and cable types:
0.25mm slot – Bare fibre
0.9mm slot – Tail fibre / pigtail fibre
2.5–3.0mm slot – Drop cable / leather cable
This integrated design allows technicians to work with multiple fibre configurations using a single cleaver.
High-Precision Long-Life Blade
The tungsten steel cutting blade provides excellent durability and consistent performance. With 24 available cutting positions and an estimated lifespan of up to 48,000 cleaves, the blade is designed for extended professional use.
The blade height can also be adjusted using the dedicated fixing and adjustment screws, allowing technicians to calibrate the cleaver when required.
Safe & Clean Fibre Preparation
The removable waste fibre collection box captures small glass fibre offcuts produced during cleaving. This helps prevent sharp fibre fragments from being left on the work surface and makes cleanup easier after completing a fibre installation or repair.
The integrated safety lock also helps prevent accidental opening and protects the cleaver during transportation.
