74508-1 ABSTRACT Apparatus for breaking an optical fiber comprises fiber gripping units each comprising a rigid block having adhered there- to a strip of a resilient material, for example a synthetic felt, the blocks being relatively movable between an open position to receive an optical fiber between the resilient strips and a closed position to clamp the fiber between the strips. A fiber holder is provided for applying a pulling force to the fiber to cause it to slide between the resilient strips in the closed position of the blocks. Before being inserted between the strips, the fiber is formed with a V-shaped notch at which the fiber is to be broken. The strips are so configured that as the fiber slides between the strips it is first bent about the notch, after which the direction of bending of the fiber is reversed so that fiber is broken at the notch under the pulling force applied to the fiber by the fiber holder. The one severed end face of the fiber is then pulled away from the other by the fiber holder 9.
