OPTICAL FIBER CUTTER

摘要

An optical fiber cleaver capable of precisely counting and indicating the number of cuts of an optical fiber is provided. An optical fiber cleaver 1 includes a cleaver base body 3 having a holder guide portion 7 which positions a fiber holder 6 holding an optical fiber 2, and a cleaver lid body 4 attached to the cleaver base body 3 to be openable and closable. A slider having a blade member piercing the optical fiber 2 is attached to the cleaver base body 3 to be movable in a width direction. A pawl member 20 is arranged in one sidewall of the holder guide portion 7. Further, a count indication mechanism 21 which counts and indicates the number of times the slider returns to an initial position is provided in the cleaver base body 3. The optical fiber cleaver 1 is configured to enable a counting operation of the count indication mechanism 21 only when the fiber holder 6 is set in the holder guide portion 7 such that the pawl member 20 is pressed.
