Abstract
A hand-held optical fiber cutting apparatus comprises a base, and a cutting device and a bending device, comprised of a pushing shaft mounted on the cutting device, that slide to perform cutting. The base includes an optical fiber guiding support to receive the optical fiber to be cut. Via a manual switch, an optical fiber clamp pivotably mounted onto the base can rotatably open or close to clamp the optical fiber. The bending device further includes a bending base pivotably assembled with the base. To cut the optical fiber, the cutting device and the pushing shaft slide toward the clamped optical fiber that is sequentially precut via a cutting blade of the cutting device and then cut off via a rotation of the bending base pushed by the pushing shaft.
