ABSTRACT:
A device and method are for separating at least one optical fiber. A swivelled element and an asymmetric anvil are used so that a section of the fiber is contacted only in two positions that are substantially insignificant for the tensile strength of a spliced fiber. In one position, the glass fiber core of the section of the fiber is protected from damages by a fiber sheathing. In the other position that is contiguous to the position of separation, mechanical damages are of minor importance since they are at least partially repaired by the heat produced during splicing.
