Abstract
A device for clamping an end portion of an optical fiber, including a cylindrical sleeve formed with an axially extending aperture for receiving the end portion of the optical fiber and at least one slit extending both radially from its outer side face to the aperture and axially through the sleeve along a plane containing an axis of the sleeve, and an adaptor. The outer side face of the sleeve is at least partly tapered into a tapered outer side face and the adaptor is formed with a tapered bore corresponding, in shape, to the tapered outer side face.
