PURPOSE:To remove the jacket of an optical fiber excellently by providing a couple of jacket notching parts, clad holding parts for a hard material couple, one of which is soft, and a heater. CONSTITUTION:The couple of jacket notching parts 33 and 23 are cutters and the jacket clamping parts 34 and 24 are made of heat-resisting, adiabatic tempered glass, etc. A jacket holding part 25 has its surface material 27 made of stainless steel and its reverse surface member 28 made of Si-based soft rubber. A jacket pressing part 35 is made of the same material with the reverse surface member 28. The heater 26 is embedded in the back surface member 28. The notching parts and holding parts are closed and the terminal of a jacket layer is heated by the heater. The couple of cutters intrude into the jacket. The optical fiber is drawn in this state and then the jacket is broken at the cutter intrusion part; and a remaining cut material is left on the side of a clamping member 21, the end part of the optical fiber is extracted, and the jacket layer is removed cleanly, so that no jacket residue is left. |
