A device for cleaving fiber optic cable includes a grooved drum about which a cable is reeved mounted on a base which includes clamps for the cable ends. A cleaving break is provided beneath a section of the cable in the periphery of the drum which is expandable to vary the cleaving break dimensions. In the cleaving break is mounted a device for circumferentially scoring the cable which is then cleaved at the score mark by forcibly expanding the drum and thus the size of the cleaving break. Mechanism is provided for effecting such expansion.
