Abstract
A multipart end-piece adaptor that holds a fiber for stripping, cleaning and splicing that converts into a protective housing for the spliced fiber includes a first adaptor part having a guide sleeve and a second adaptor part that cooperates with the first adaptor part, the second adaptor part having a stripping apparatus. The second adaptor part can be a consumable that, once actuated and removed to strip the fiber, cut the fiber and clean the fiber in one action may be discarded. A further adaptor part engages two first adaptor parts with a guide opening for a coated optical fiber to form a protective housing around the spliced optical fiber.
