US 2026/0169222 A1 · OPTICAL FIBER CUTTER

Abstract

An optical fiber cutter according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a blade that makes a cut in an optical fiber; a recovery unit that recovers cutting scraps of the optical fiber which has been severed starting from the cut; and an open/close member that rotates around a first axis in a first rotation direction to thereby open the recovery unit. The optical fiber cutter further comprises: a moving member that moves along a first direction; and a rotation member that, as the moving member moves in the first direction, rotates around a second axis in a second rotation direction which is a reverse direction of the first rotation direction, thereby causing the open/close member to rotate in the first rotation direction.
