Abstract
An optical cable gripping member which prevents the kinds of splicing devices from being diversified, thereby enabling reduction of the labor of component management and lowering of the production cost to be realized is obtained. In a cable gripping memberwhich is to be attached to a splicing deviceto hold an optical fiber cablefrom its outer sheath, a spacerwhich fills a gap between one inner wall surfaceof a tubular spacethrough which the optical fiber cableis to be passed, and the spacerin the tubular spaceis formed monolithically with one end of the one inner wall surfacein a manner that the spaceris attachable to and detachable from the one inner wall surface. The spaceris attached to or detached from the one inner wall surface, thereby enabling a plurality of optical fiber cables of different sizes to be held.
