An optical cable gripping member which prevents the kinds of splicing devices from being diversified, thereby enabling reduction of the labor of component management and lowering of the production cost to be realized is obtained. In a cable gripping member 5 which is to be attached to a splicing device 1 to hold an optical fiber cable 121 from its outer sheath, a spacer 17 which fills a gap between one inner wall surface 15a of a tubular space 15 through which the optical fiber cable 121 is to be passed, and the spacer 17 in the tubular space 15 is formed monolithically with one end of the one inner wall surface 15a in a manner that the spacer 17 is attachable to and detachable from the one inner wall surface 15a. The spacer 17 is attached to or detached from the one inner wall surface 15a, thereby enabling a plurality of optical fiber cables of different sizes to be held.
An optical cable gripping member which grips an optical fiber cable from an outer sheath of the cable, the optical fiber cable being inserted into a splicing device for connecting optical fibers to each other, the optical cable gripping member comprising:
