Holder, fusion splicing apparatus, and optical connector

摘要

A holder capable of protecting an optical connector ferrule from an external shock, or the like and executing a fusion-splice of a short optical fiber not to take out the optical connector ferrule from the holder is obtained. A holder 51 for holding a connector plug 10 equipped with an optical connector ferrule 7 and for protecting a short optical fiber 5 fitted to the optical connector ferrule 7 and the connector plug 10, wherein, when the short optical fiber 5 together with the holder 51 is fitted to a fusion splicing apparatus 71 that fusion-splices the short optical fiber 5 and other coated optical fiber 3, the short optical fiber 5 extended from the plug frame 9 is positioned in a fusion position.
