ABSTRACT:
The apparatus is provided with a pair of opposed blades having sharp edges intersecting at an angle and blunt parallel edges contiguous to the sharp edges and spaced a minimum spacing which is larger than the diameter of the optical fiber clad but smaller than the outer diameter of the coating coated on the optical fiber. Accordingly when the coated optical fiber is urged between the blades, the coating is cut from the opposite sides of the blunt parallel edges except for a small thickness of the coating so that the coating can be readily removed without injuring the fiber clad. When the optical fiber is pulled outward from the apparatus, the coating portion to be removed is stripped without imparting any injury to the fiber clad.
