Abstract
A machine for connecting an end of an optical fiber cable (1) to an optical fiber connector (2) comprises a stripping mechanism (10) that strips an end of a jacket (1b) from an end of the optical fiber cable (1) to expose an end of a fiber core (1a), a connector-connecting mechanism (30) which inserts the stripped end of the optical fiber cable (1) into a hole (2a) in the optical fiber connector (2) and connects the cable (1) with the connector (2), a core-cutting mechanism (60) which cuts the length of the fiber core (1a) protruding from the front end of the connector (2) leaving a tiny length of protruding fiber core (1a), and a core-finishing mechanism (70) which finishes the end surface of the protruding tiny length of fiber core (1a).
