ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber cleaving tool is disclosed wherein a housing insertably receives an optical fiber extending from a fiber optic ferrule. A cleaving module is contained in a housing for scoring the fiber. A fiber pulling element grasps the fiber at a location spaced from the second location, and simultaneously axially offsets the fiber and pulls the second location away from the first location to effect severing of the fiber at the scored location.
