FC-6S fibre hatchet — precision cutting for reliable cold splicing and cable preparation Key benefits High-precision cuts: Designed to produce accurate, clean end faces for cold splicing and optical cable cutting, reducing the risk of fibre damage and rework. Wide compatibility: Works with both single-mode and multimode fibres and supports 12 different end-face types. Compatible with single fibres of 25mm and 0.9mm, and with fibre tapes up to 12 fibres. Durable and long-lasting: Constructed from quality materials for dependable field performance and an operational life rated for 36,000 fibres. Simple, consistent operation: Easy to use in routine cold welding/splicing workflows, delivering repeatable, precise cuts with minimal training. What it does for you Improves splice quality by producing uniform, clean end faces that promote low-loss joins. Saves time on site by simplifying fibre preparation and reducing the need for recuts. Lowers operating costs with a long service life and consistent performance. Important attributes Model: FC-6S fibre hatchet Function: High-precision cold splicing and optical cable cutting (clean end-face preparation) Compatibility: Single-mode and multimode fibres; 12 end-face options; single fibres 25mm and 0.9mm; fibre tapes up to 12 fibres Durability: Rated lifespan of 36,000 fibres Ease of use: Designed for straightforward operation in field and workshop settings Typical applications Field technicians preparing fibres for cold splicing in telecommunications and FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) installations.
