ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for accessing fibers in an optical fiber ribbon by separating the ribbon into first and second portions has a lower element having a slot therein for holding the ribbon, a coupling element to which the lower element is fixedly mounted, and a slotted upper element vertically and rotatably movable on the coupling element. The upper element can be raised to permit insertion of a fiber ribbon into the two slotted elements, after which it is lowered and twisted on the coupling element to separate the ribbon into two parts.
