Abstract
A cleaving mechanism () and related method is adapted to cleave an optical fiber () and thereby produce a cleaved end on the optical fiber. The cleaving mechanism () includes a fixture (), a cleave tool () for cleaving the optical fiber, and a clamp assembly (). The clamp assembly () may hold the optical fiber without substantial twisting of the optical fiber (). The fixture and/or the clamp assembly () may include a pair of leaf springs () that contact and bend around the optical fiber () to secure the optical fiber () in a clamped position.
