Abstract
An optical fiber holding device ( ) comprises a fastening flange ( ) and a coil-shaped fiber receiving portion ( ) connecting with the flange. The receiving portion is formed by a wall ( ) spiraling from an inner end ( ) thereof outwardly. A central holding space ( ), a spiral guiding passage ( ), and an inlet ( ) of the passage are thereby defined. The flange is connected with an outer end of the wall adjacent the inlet. A pair of through holes ( ) is defined in the flange. The holding device is integrally formed by molding plastic material, or by bending a metal sheet. Each optical fiber ( ) is inserted into the inlet, guided along the passage, and received in the central holding space. Screw s are extended through the through holes to secure the holding device together with the optical fibers to an optical module.
