Abstract
Crimping apparatus for butt splicing two optical fibers in a connector requiring application of both radial and axial force comprises a frame, a workstation for holding the connector, a pair of radial die sets, and a pair of axial die sets. A disk journaled to the frame beneath the workstation has an integral ring-like member connected to respective die sets by four toggle links at ninety degree intervals. Rotating the disk causes the die sets to converge on a connector at the workstation.
