ABSTRACT:
A method for handling a fusion-spliced optical fiber and a transferring jig for transporting the optical fiber are provided. The jig is capable of holding the fusion-spliced optical fiber in a state in which a given tension is applied at the spliced portion, and stopping the application of such tension if needed. The jig is easy to transport and set to each of separate processing processes. In the method, a fusion-spliced optical fiber is clamped at coated portions thereof on both sides of the fusion-spliced portion by a pair of clamps of the jig and transported by the jig holding the optical fiber in a state wherein a given tension is applied thereto through the clamps.
