A fusion splice is only as good as the cleave that precedes it — and precision cleavers from the big splicer brands price accordingly.
The RMT ST3110A delivers the quality and features of Fitel, AFL, and other brand-name cleavers at a fraction of the cost: a consistent 0.5-degree cleave angle on single fiber in both 250 micron and 900 micron coatings, splice after splice.
Operation is deliberately simple — load, close, cleave — and so is maintenance.
The cleaving position is adjustable using the hex wrench stored right in the bottom of the unit, so dialing in the perfect blade spot takes a minute in the field, not a trip back to the bench. The blade itself is rated for 48,000 cleave cycles and is fully replaceable (replacement blades available separately as RMT-ST3110A Blade), making the tool a long-term platform rather than a consumable.
At just over half a pound and pocket-sized, it lives in the splice kit without claiming real estate.
An operation guide and protective carrying pouch are included. For new fiber techs building a first kit, contractors outfitting crews, or anyone who winces at brand-name cleaver replacement pricing, the ST3110A is the sensible buy.
