An optical fiber-connecting reinforcing member consists of a reinforcing base plate (3) made of a ceramic and a hot melt film (4). To simplify manufacture and protect the hot melt film against dirt and dust, the member is mounted on a resin sheet (1) having excellent heat resistance and peelability. The hot melt film is bonded to the resin sheet. In producing the optical fiber-connecting reinforcing member the resin sheet (1) is first placed on a lower holding plate with a guide, and a perforated plate is placed on the upper surface of the resin sheet. The perforated plate has longitudinal through holes bored therethrough at a specific interval. Hot melt films (4) and reinforcing ceramic base plates (3) are each preliminarily cut to a given size, and inserted into the longitudinal holes. An upper holding plate is placed on the perforated plate, and then hot pressing is effected. |
