PURPOSE:To nearly equalize the external diameter size of a cable end to the external diameter of a cable and to facilitate lay-out operation by processing the ends of a coated optical fiber by coating them with metal, and mounting those end parts in the V groove of a base and then fixing them with an abutting stopper plates and a pressure plate. CONSTITUTION:The 1st jacket material 4a and 2nd jacket material 4b of the optical fiber 4 are removed, the surface of the optical fiber 4c is coated with the metal, and the end surfaces of the optical fiber 4c are polished. Coated optical fibers 4 and 4' are fitted in a groove 5b of the base 5 and optical fibers 4c and 4c' are mounted in the V groove 5b to abut on each other from both sides. One stopper plate 6 is fitted to the base 5 with screws and the coated optical fiber 4 is fixed; and the pressure plate 7 is fitted to the base 5 to fix the abutting parts of the optical fibers 4c and 4c', and then the stopper plate 6' is fixed with screws to fix the optical fiber 4', thus completing the slicing operation. Consequently, the external diameter size of the cable end can be equalized almost to the external diameter of the cable, facilitating ease lay-out operation. |
