摘要

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CLEAVING OPTICAL FIBERS A method and apparatus for cleaving optical fibers includes d fiber support fixed to a housing for supporting an extent of the fiber for scoring by a cleaving element. Pulling means grasp the end of fiber and offsets such fiber end relative to the fixed fiber support thereby bending the fiber about the scored location, and pulls the fiber longitudinally away from the scored location to effect a sever thereat.
