ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber loading device includes a loading stage, which includes a first clamp block, fitted in a first opening defined in a first base portion, including first grooves adapted to position first optical fibers of a first optical fiber cable; and a first clamp arranged to releasably contact the first clamp block to clamp the first optical fibers therebetween, wherein the first clamp block and first base portion are formed of two different materials. The device also includes a first holder adapted to hold the first optical fiber cable, and to move the first optical fiber relative to the loading stage to bring the first optical fibers in contact with second optical fibers of a second optical fiber cable.
