AFL FBD-06 Fiber Scrap Collector (CT-16)

Overview

The AFL FBD-06 is a dedicated fiber scrap collector designed for use with the CT-16 series fiber optic cleaver. This component is essential for maintaining a clean and safe workspace during fiber preparation by securely containing hazardous, microscopic glass shards generated during the cleaving process.

Engineered for seamless integration, the FBD-06 attaches directly to the cleaver unit. Its primary purpose is to ensure that waste fiber is immediately captured after every cleave, significantly reducing the risk of fiber-related injuries and accidental contamination of the technician's working environment.

Key Features

• Direct Compatibility
  Specifically designed to fit the CT-16 series fiber cleaver, ensuring a precise and secure physical connection.
• Waste Containment
  Effectively traps sharp fiber scraps, preventing them from scattering on the workbench or site floors.
• Improved Safety
  Minimizes the risk of contact with razor-sharp glass fiber fragments, which are a common safety hazard for technicians.
• Efficient Workflow
  Facilitates a cleaner workspace by eliminating the need for manual cleanup of tiny, hard-to-see fiber debris after each cut.
• Durable Design
  Constructed from robust materials capable of withstanding the rigors of daily field use in various installation environments.
• Simple Installation
  Quickly mounts to the host device, allowing technicians to focus on the splicing process rather than complex equipment setup.

Applications

• Field fiber optic splicing
• Data center cable installation
• FTTH network construction
• Fiber optic repair and maintenance
