Abstract
Disclosed herein is a pusher device for a plastic optical fiber comprising a pair of pusher members for holding and fixing end portions of plural plastic optical fibers covered with sheaths, wherein said pusher members have a structure such that the end portions of said plural plastic optical fibers covered with said sheaths are held in plural positions longitudinally spaced away from each other of said optical fibers. With this arrangement, the sheaths are permitted to flex in a space between the two held positions upon bending of the optical fiber cable to thereby absorb difference in curvature.
