Abstract

PURPOSE:To quickly execute connection, and to miniaturize the dimension of a connecting part by forming an optical fiber core wire group by plural pieces of optical fiber core wires being independent separately, and thereafter, executing in a lump a removal of covering and cutting of the end part of an exposed optical fiber. CONSTITUTION:Plural pieces of optical fiber core wires B being independent separately are arranged like a plane, and the vicinity of its terminal part is clamped by a terminal fixing tool 1. As for the terminal fixing tool 1, for instance, that which is superposed the upper cover 13 which is provided with an adhesive agent layer 14 on the inside surface, on a base 11 having a positioning V-groove 12 of the optical fiber core wire B on the upper face, etc. are used. Subsequently, the covering of the terminal part of the optical fiber core wire B group is removed in a lump by an optical fiber covering removing device 4, and the end part of an exposed optical fiber C group is cut in a lump with a cutting edge 5. The end face of the other optical fiber C which is brought to the same processing is opposed and set to a multicore batch welding and connecting machine, brought to a batch welding and connection by an aerial discharge, and subsequently, set to an optical fiber reinforcing device, and the connecting part is reinforced. In such a way, the work time is shortened remarkably, and the dimension of the connecting part can be miniaturized.
