OPTICAL CONNECTOR SWITCHING TOOL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to easily and rapidly handle and switch optical connectors on a working site and to obtain the workability and reliability equal to those of an automatic switching device by providing the tool with a first holding member for holding a first optical connector and a second holding member, etc., for holding second and third optical connectors, etc. SOLUTION: The first holding block 10 holds the first optical connector C1 and is freely movable in the direction for connecting the second and third optical connectors C2, C3. A pin pressing block 20 is disposed at the first holding block 10 freely movably in the connecting direction and has insertion projections 20b to be inserted with fitting pins PC. The second holding block 30 holds the second and third optical connectors C2, C3 apart a prescribed spacing and is freely movable in the direction perpendicular to the connecting direction to the first optical connector C1. A pin removing block 40 is disposed at the second holding block 30 freely movably in the connecting direction and has extruding pins 40b for extruding the fitting pins PC toward the first optical connector C1 side.
