Abstract
A device for severing a dielectric optical waveguide comprising knife means, means for clamping a dielectric optical waveguide in closely spaced relationship with said knife means and an anvil which is movable towards said knife means. The anvil is so arranged and constructed that, in use, as it moves towards the knife means, it engages a dielectric optical waveguide clamped by said clamping means and urges it towards the knife means. When the waveguide comes into contact with the knife means it is under a given stress and has a predetermined configuration. The device also includes means for effecting movement of the anvil.
