Reason to clean Clamp pad, Anvil, Cleaver blade
In the series of splicing process, cleaving fibers are one of most important process to get low splicing loss.
In the case, improperly cleaving may cause not only bad cleaving but also cause high splicing loss.
The principle of cleaving a optical fiber by cleaver shows as below.
① Clamp a optical fiber with upper and lower clamp pad
② Score the fiber by a cleaver blade
③ An anvil pushes and bends the fiber from upper side,
finally the fiber is cleaved.

Good end face condition
Dust may make not only improperly clamp the fiber but also cause bad cleaving.
Bad end face condition
It is important to keep clean the Clamp pad, Anvil and Cleaver blade of Cleaver by cleaning to get Good cleaving.
Dust may make not only improperly clamp the fiber but also cause bad cleaving.
Bad end face condition
It is important to keep clean the Clamp pad, Anvil and Cleaver blade of Cleaver by cleaning to get Good cleaving.
How often clean Clamp pad, Anvil and Cleaver blade is necessary?
Recommendation: Every before use
