An optical fiber holder includes a holder main body and cord receiving groove. The holder main body has a fiber receiving groove and a first cord receiving groove. The fiber receiving groove receives and positions a coated optical fiber of an optical fiber cord with a cord jacket removed at the tip of the optical fiber cord. The cord receiving groove receives the cord jacket. A cord holding cover and a fiber pressing coverare attached to the holder main bodyfor movement between respective open closed positions. The cord holder cover includes a second cord receiving groove that cooperates with the first cord receiving groove to form an insertion through hole having a circular cross-section that allows for insertion of the optical fiber. The fiber pressing cover presses the coated optical fiber against the holder main body with the coated optical fiber in the fiber receiving groove.
