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, and an annular fixing member engaged with an outer cover for covering at least a part of said sheaths not held by said pair of pusher members and generally covering said plural plastic optical fibers, said fixing member being rotatably received in a space defined by said pair of pusher members in such a manner as to be restrained from getting out of said space. Even when the optical fiber cable is pulled or bent near the end portion thereof, the end surfaces of the optical fibers are not slipped.
