ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for aligning a plurality of single-fiber cables, comprises a base, a cover hinged to the base and forming a gap along with the base when closed, and a pair arms inserted in the gap and movable within the gap, for aligning the single-fiber cables in the same plane. To align single-fiber cables by means of the apparatus, the cables are arranged on the base, one after another. Then, the cover is closed, whereby the cables are located in the gap between the base and the cover. The arms or the pawl members, which are inserted in the gap, are moved, thereby putting the cables together and placing them parallel to one another in the same plane, any cable not forced above so that it rides atop another. The cables, thus aligned, can easily be held by a holder designed for multi-fiber cables.
