Left-handed fiber cleaver

The fcp-21 optical-fiber cleaver has been modified to suit left-handed installers. The fcp-21l compact cleaver weighs 6.3 oz and has a 1.5 ¥ 2.2-inch footprint. The device produces endface conditions with a push-button fiber breaker that gives consistent end angles of 0.5° or less. It cleaves single fibers with buffer diameter of 0.25 to 0.9 mm.
