Apparatus for mechanically splicing two optic fibers, including a housing member having opposed first and second optic fiber receiving sections separated by an optic fiber splicing section; a clamping section having first and second optic fiber restraining members and a splice restraining member overlying respective ones of the first and second optic fiber receiving sections and the optic fiber splicing section, wherein the clamping section is movable between an optic fiber receiving position whereby optic fibers can be inserted into respective optic fiber receiving sections so that optic fiber cores of said optic fibers are in optical communication in the splicing section, and an optic fiber securing position whereby said optic fibers are held by frictional engagement between said optic fiber receiving sections and said restraining members. |
