Furukawa FITEL S327 Fiber Cleaver

The FITEL S327A is a single-operation, high-precision optical fiber cleaver from Furukawa Electric featuring the longest-lasting blade on the market — 65,000 cleaves. It handles both single fibers and Rollable Ribbon up to 16 fibers, and rotating the blade to the next position takes a single click — no tools, no adjustment.

Precise, single-operation optical fiber cleaver
Blade rated for 65,000 cleaves — the longest on the market
Handles single fibers and ribbons up to 16 fibers
One-click blade rotation, no tools required
Blade replacement in under a minute, no tools

FITEL S327A is a precise, single-operation optical fiber cleaver from Furukawa Electric, engineered for ergonomics in telecom and manufacturing applications. It handles both single fibers and ribbons of up to 16 fibers (Rollable Ribbon 200 µm). Its key distinction is a blade rated for 65,000 cleaves — the longest-lasting blade among cleavers on the market. Blade replacement takes less than a minute, with no tools or additional adjustment.

65,000 cleaves › the longest blade life on the market

Standard cleavers typically offer 24,000–48,000 cleaves per blade. With 65,000 cleaves (2,500 cleaves on each of 26 blade positions), the FITEL S327A significantly lowers operating cost and eliminates frequent service downtime. Rotating the blade to the next position is done with a single click — no tools, no adjustment, in a few seconds.

Parameter	FITEL S327A	Typical market
Blade life	65,000 cleaves	24,000–48,000 cleaves
Blade rotation	1 click, no tools	Tools often required
Blade replacement	< 1 minute, no tools	Several minutes, often with tools
Operating modes	Handheld or desktop	Usually desktop only
Ribbon	up to 16 fibers (200 µm)	Often up to 12 only

Handheld or desktop use › full ergonomics

Compact dimensions (88 × 93 × 54 mm) and a weight of just 320 g make the S327A one of the few cleavers on the market that allow a complete cleave with one hand — without setting the cleaver down on a bench. A key advantage when working in cable vaults, on ladders or in hard-to-reach places.

Adjustable lid opening angle

Users can adjust the cleaver lid opening angle to their own preferences and working conditions. Fiber offcuts are automatically collected in a waste bin — with no risk of losing dangerous fiber shards.

Tool-free blade position change

Rotating the blade to the next position requires just a single click. No screwdrivers or wrenches are needed — eliminating the risk of accidentally damaging the mechanism during field maintenance.

Applications

• Installation and maintenance of FTTx, Metro and LAN telecom networks

• DROP cable splicing — an ideal pair with the FITEL NINJA or FITEL S179+ splicer

• Data center installations with Rollable Ribbon cables (up to 16 fibers, 200 µm)

• Manufacturing of fiber optic components

• Training and laboratories — low operating cost, long service life

The FITEL S327A is part of the Interlab subscriber kit with the FITEL NINJA NJ001 splicer — a ready-to-use tool set for FTTx installers.
