Abstract
A composite fiber cutting and terminating apparatus includes parent and insert housings supported for relative movement, the parent housing supporting therein both a terminating device, such as a photodiode, and a cutting device. The insert housing has a fiber receiving channel. Upon movement of the insert housing into the parent housing, the fiber is retentively engaged by the insert housing and is cut to define a termination end face and the termination end face is disposed in registration with the termination device.
