Fiber cutting device

Abstract

An optical fiber cutting apparatus includes a body portion on which an optical fiber is mounted, a cover member that is rotatably connected to the body portion and fixes the optical fiber between the body portion and the cover member by rotating toward the body portion, a blade member configured to form a flaw on a glass fiber portion of the optical fiber which is fixed, and a holding member mounted on the body portion, the holding member configured to hold the blade member. The cover member presses the holding member and thereby the blade member imparts an arc movement to form the flaw on the glass fiber portion.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an optical fiber cutting device capable of cutting a glass fiber portion of an optical fiber at a desired length. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the demand for large-capacity and high-speed information transmission has been increasing, and the way of installing optical fiber communication networks in office buildings and general houses is under development. For example, when an optical fiber is pulled from a main line in a house, it is necessary to connect the optical fiber on the main line side and the optical fiber on the house side. In the case of connecting optical fibers, a glass fiber portion is exposed by removing the coating at the end of the optical fiber, the exposed glass fiber portion is cut, and connection is performed in a state where the cut fractured surfaces are butted together. [0003] As a device for cutting the glass fiber part of an optical fiber, such an optical fiber cutting devi...
