Abstract
A device for use in on-site conditions to obtain a section plane which reproducibly makes an angle of 5.degree., for example, relative to the axis of an optical fiber. The device includes a clamp for holding the fiber at a first point, a rotary clamp for holding the fiber at a second point and for twisting it about the axis of the fiber. The device further includes two jaws for holding the fiber at a third point after it has been twisted by means of the rotary clamp. A convex anvil subjects the fiber to tension after it has been twisted. A diamond cutter is employed for cleaving the fiber. The invention is applicable to providing an optical fiber cutting tool suitable for cutting the fiber obliquely on the worksite.
