<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a split tool for an optical fiber ribbon, reducing transmission loss of an optical fiber caused at the split work and having favorable workability. <P>SOLUTION: The optical fiber ribbon 3 as an object is formed by connecting a plurality of optical fibers 1 arranged in a lateral line to each other by curable bonding resin 2 to be integrated like a tape. A substantially V-groove gap 7 formed between the opposite outer peripheral surfaces of two adjacent optical fibers 1 is filled with connecting bonding resin 2 connecting two adjacent optical fibers to each other. The optical fiber ribbon has a projection height h projecting outward over a common tangent L (L') touching the outer peripheral surfaces of the two optical fibers 1. Pressure is applied from the tape thickness direction to a connecting bonding resin part 2 at a desired portion of the optical fiber ribbon 3 by two plate-like members 5, 6 disposed on both sides in the tape thickness direction, thereby separating the connecting bonding resin 2 from the optical fiber outer peripheral surface to be split into a single core fiber. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
