Portable Fiber Optic Splicer

摘要

A portable splicer for an optical fiber can include a first case half and second case half with respective exterior and interior surfaces, which can be hingedly attached to define a case having an interior case surface. At least two clamps for receiving the cable to be spliced and a fuser can be attached to the interior case surface. A deployed configuration for the splice can be established, wherein the first exterior and second exterior surfaces are co-planar. In the deployed configuration, the fuser is located between the two clamps and the fuser and clamps are substantially co-planar. A first channel can be formed in the first exterior surface and a second channel can be formed in the second exterior surface. A bar can be slidably disposed within one of the channels, and can be extended into the other channel to thereby fix the case halves in the deployed configuration.
