Abstract

An optical fiber fusion splicer includes optical fiber holders that hold optical fibers. Each optical fiber holder includes a base, a cover, and a connecting portion. The base includes a setting table on which an optical fiber F is placed so as to be oriented in the longitudinal direction of the base. The cover has pressing members that press the optical fiber F placed on the setting table against the setting table. The connecting portion joins the cover to the base such that the cover is openable away from and closeable over the base and movable in the longitudinal direction of the base.
