Sumitomo FC-8R Precision Automatic Blade Rotation Cleaver

Get reliable, repeatable cleaves in the field with the Sumitomo FC-8R Precision Automatic Blade Rotation Cleaver. Built to boost productivity on fusion cable splicers projects, the FC-8R delivers automatic blade rotation and a smart cleave counter so technicians spend less time adjusting equipment and more time completing jobs. The unit accommodates 1–12 fiber ribbons for high-density networking and security cabling, while the precision silica glass blade is rated for up to 60,000 cleaves to reduce replacement frequency and cost. An integrated offcut collector keeps work areas tidy during surveillance and monitoring system installs, and the handheld footprint makes the cleaver ideal for confined spaces and mechanical connector prep. Fully compatible with Sumitomo fusion splicers, the FC-8R streamlines termination, splicing, and field maintenance workflows—improving first-pass success and minimizing downtime. Choose the FC-8R when you need fast, accurate cleaving for data center, network, and security deployments. Order now to upgrade your fusion splicing toolkit or request a demo for field evaluation.
