PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a protective supporting body for a juncture commonly usable for both of fusion splicing and mechanical splicing. SOLUTION: Both right and left ends of the protective supporting body 14 are provided with inner fitting parts 16 at which mechanical splicers 26 by mechanical splicing are mountable and outer fitting parts 18 at which thermally shrinking tubes 24 by fusion splicing are mountable. Both of the inner fitting parts 16 and the outer fitting parts 18 are formed between dislodgment preventive pawls 8 erected by having guide surfaces 6 at the time of mounting the fibers. Then, if the optical fiber splicing method is fusion splicing, the thermally shrinking tubes are mounted at the outer fitting parts and if the method is the mechanical splicing, the mechanical splicers are mounted at the inner fitting parts, by which the protective supporting body is made usable commonly for both systems. |
