Abstract
A clamp for optical fiber couplers manufacturing apparatus comprises a slotted member having a slot into which optical fibers are inserted and having an opening outwardly winder from the slot so that the optical fibers are introduced into the slot, and a pushing member movably disposed adjacent the slot for pushing the optical fibers through the opening into the slot, wherein the slotted member is away from the pushing member when the fibers are not clamped, and the slotted member is fixed at a position where the slotted member clamps the fibers.
