ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for cutting each light waveguide of a plurality of light waveguides which are assembled in a cable of light waveguides characterized by an anvil positioned between a pair of common clamps for holding the waveguides parallel to each other with one clamp being biased away from the other clamp, a lifting device for lifting each of the light waveguides sequentially one after another so that the lifted waveguide carries all of the tension provided by the force acting on the moveable clamp and a notching device for simultaneously notching or scratching the lifted waveguide to cause separation of the waveguide at the notch.
