Abstract
An optical fiber device,characterized in comprising a support mechanism,that supports an optical fiber connector,having components,with a two piece structure disposed one over the other and held against each other by a tension means, and at one end or the other end of which one or the other optical fibers,is inserted between said components, determining the alignment position so as to be able to connect optical fibers end to end, a separation member,releasing said optical fibers by spreading in the direction of separation of said components by opposing the tension of said tension means when inserted into said components from a direction straight along the longitudinal direction of said optical connector, and a push pressure device,which inserts said separation member between said components by applying pushing pressure in the direction of the optical connector to said seperator, and while applying end to end force to both optical fibers end to end in the component, closes the component, and clamps the optical fibers.
