Optical Fiber Hot Knife

×
  • Heated Blade for Optical Fiber Cutting
  • Yields Fine Terminations
  • Includes Fiber Optic Cutting Block 

Packed with a jacket stripper for 1mm jacketed fibers, the hot knife is simply a heated blade that yields clean terminations. This type of termination is especially useful in cutting fibers flush with a housing or aperture, and cutting fibers or light guides in sizes larger than our Fiber Optic Cutting Block will accept. Fiber Optic Cutting Block #54-013 included with hot knife.

How to Achieve Optimal Collimation with Fiber Optics

Collimated light is required for many fiber optic applications. Using the proper setup, fiber optic collimating lenses or ball lenses, and some optical know-how, you can achieve optimal collimation.
