Abstract
An object of the present disclosure is to make it possible to reduce the number of devices required for performing a series of operations of switching connection of an optical fiber. The present disclosure is a device including a pair of electrode rods that fusion-splices a glass portion provided in an optical fiber, in which the coating provided in the optical fiber is removed using the pair of electrode rods.
Claims8
A device comprising:
- a pair of electrode rods configured to fusion-splice a glass portion provided in an optical fiber, wherein
- the coating provided in the optical fiber is removed using the pair of electrode rods.
A method performed by a device including a pair of electrode rods, the method comprising:
- removing a coating provided in a first optical fiber using the pair of electrode rods;
- and
- fusion-splicing a glass portion provided in the first optical fiber and a glass portion provided in the second optical fiber using the pair of electrode rods.
