What are the 16 and 24 sides of the fiber cleaver?

16-sided means that the blade surface rotates at an angle of 16 degrees, and 24-sided means that the blade surface rotates at an angle of 24 degrees.
The blade surface of the fiber optic cutting knife is at various angles. Because the material of the optical fiber is generally quartz, there are special requirements for the blade surface of the fiber optic cutting knife. The fixed blade corresponds to the angle of the fixed blade surface, so the fiber optic cutting knife has 16 sides. The surface rotation angle is 16 degrees. The 24-surface fiber cleaver means the blade surface rotation angle is 24 degrees.
Fiber cutters are used to cut quartz glass optical fibers as thin as hair. Only when the end of the cut optical fiber is still flat after being magnified hundreds of times, can it be used for device packaging, cold splicing, and discharge welding.
