ABSTRACT Composite apparatus for preparing and positioning tails of two optical fibres for fusion splicing and for effecting a fusion splice between prepared and appropriately positioned tails comprises optical fibre cleaving apparatus mechanically controlled fusion splicing apparatus optical fibre holding devices and associated transfer arms and a low voltage power source, the cleaving and splicing apparatus, holding devices and associated transfer arms being housed in a casing and the low voltage power source being housed in a casing which is separately formed with respect to the casing. The low voltage power source is electrically connected to the high voltage circuitry of the splicing apparatus by a flexible electric cable. The transfer arms will transfer a holding device from a first operating station in which an optical fibre tail is held normal to the scoring edge of a blade of the cleaving apparatus to a second operating station in which the optical fibre tail is held normal to the common axis of the fusion electrodes of the splicing apparatus and in axial alignment with an optical fibre tail held by the other holding device, the prepared end faces of the aligned optical fibres being disposed between the electrodes.
